HTTP Response Handling

[Aureo Ponce]

Hello everyone,

I know through the documentation how to get the status code and content of an HTTP Response. However, what I want to know if there is a way to separate Successful HTTP Request (2xx) from the Unsuccessful one(4xx or 5xx). Similarly how it is handled in Angular + Typescript:

HTTPrequest.subscribe((response) => {

   // successful code

}, (error) => {

   // Unsuccessful code

});

Sure, I could get the code from the request and check whether it is a 2xx code, but just wanted to make sure if this behavior already exist in order to avoid repetition.

If you don't care about the specific status of the response, but only care about whether it was successful or not you can do something like this:

response = HTTP.get("https://google.com")

if response.status.success?
 # 2xx code
else
 # something went wrong
end

You can see in the source code this simply checks if the status code was a 2xx:

def success?

  200 <= code && code < 300

end
