Http input: not managed error 404

[ytti]

I do wonder whose role is what. What is models role, what is input methods role?

Since obviously in most typical case, we use some CLI like mechanism, like SSH or Telnet, and then we do not have any protocol level notofication about success or failure, so if we want to determine that, then it is obviously model's responsibility to figure it out.

But for HTTP, FTP and others, we can determine some errors, should we raise them, or leave them to model as well?

Could there be use-case, where model wants 404 and wants to act on that? And if we make it error, this use-case cannot be satisfied?

You could of course look at the content of the returned string, and determine it is an error, and then raise error from the model, causing failure for that node to be booked.

It's a simple download of file in http.

I see that you manage error 401 for authentification cases.

But not any other HTML Error code.
Error 404 (document not found) is the best known.
Error 400 (Bad Request) / 403 (Forbidden) are also frequent.

If i can i manage http code in my model without rewrite all Mechanize code (i do it in Dell Drac model, because i don't find how to do), it's ok for me.
But i don't find how.
