Pulp

Background¶

Currently the HttpDownloader will raise an exception at response.raise_for_status() anytime the server responds with a 400+ response code. The plugin writers are not in control of this.

In some cases a 404 should not raise an exception because a file being missing is normal. This is the case with pulp_rpm .treeinfo files. See https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7095 for that issue.

Proposal¶

Add a new hook method on HttpDownloader like this:

def raise_for_status(response):
    response.raise_for_status()

Then HttpDownloader subclasses could intercept this call and customize it.
