@gilv It's not a bad request since it's not a user fault that Swift is
down. HTTP 503 or HTTP 502 looks good here. But yes, the only thing you can do
is to fail and throw error back.
Btw, what's the timeout you use for fetching remote attachments? Do you
stream response from Swift or buffer it in memory before return back to user?
