Enum ureq::Error

pub enum Error {
    Status(u16, Response),
    Transport(Transport),
}

An error that may occur when processing a Request.

This can represent connection-level errors (e.g. connection refused), protocol-level errors (malformed response), or status code errors (e.g. 404 Not Found). Status code errors are represented by the Status enum variant, while connection-level and protocol-level errors are represented by the Transport enum variant. You can use a match statement to extract a Response from a Status error. For instance, you may want to read the full body of a response because you expect it to contain a useful error message. Or you may want to handle certain error code responses differently.

use std::{result::Result, time::Duration, thread};
use ureq::{Response, Error, Error::Status};

// An example of a function that handles HTTP 429 and 500 errors differently
// than other errors. They get retried after a suitable delay, up to 4 times.
fn get_response(url: &str) -> Result<Response, Error> {
    for _ in 1..4 {
        match ureq::get(url).call() {
            Err(Status(503, r)) | Err(Status(429, r)) => {
                let retry: Option<u64> = r.header("retry-after").and_then(|h| h.parse().ok());
                let retry = retry.unwrap_or(5);
                eprintln!("{} for {}, retry in {}", r.status(), r.get_url(), retry);
                thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(retry));
            }
            result => return result,
        };
    }
    // Ran out of retries; try one last time and return whatever result we get.
    ureq::get(url).call()
}

If you'd like to treat all status code errors as normal, successful responses, you can use Result::or_else like this:

use ureq::Error::Status;
let resp = ureq::get("http://example.com/")
  .call()
  .or_else(|e| match e { 
    Status(_, r) => Ok(r), // turn status errors into Ok Responses.
    _ => Err(e),
  })?;

Variants

Status(u16, Response)

A response was successfully received but had status code >= 400. Values are (status_code, Response).

Transport(Transport)

There was an error making the request or receiving the response.

Implementations

impl Error

pub fn kind(&self) -> ErrorKind

The type of this error.

let err = ureq::get("http://httpbin.org/status/500")
    .call().unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(err.kind(), ureq::ErrorKind::HTTP);

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

pub fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Error

pub fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Error

pub fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

The lower-level source of this error, if any.

pub fn backtrace(&self) -> Option<&Backtrace>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (backtrace)

Returns a stack backtrace, if available, of where this error occurred.

pub fn description(&self) -> &str

👎 Deprecated since 1.42.0:

use the Display impl or to_string()

pub fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎 Deprecated since 1.33.0:

replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting
