Client HTTP Response Codes in SuiteScript 2.0

TL;DR Opening

Client HTTP response codes in SuiteScript 2.0 allow developers to understand the outcomes of their HTTP requests. Understanding these codes is crucial for effective error handling and debugging in scripts.

What Are Client HTTP Response Codes?

Client HTTP response codes are numerical indicators returned by the server in response to HTTP requests made using the N/http module in SuiteScript. These codes provide insights into the status of the request, ranging from successful responses to redirections and errors.

Property Description

• Property Name: code
• Type: number (read-only)
• Module: N/http Module
• Parent Object: http.ClientResponse

Important Considerations

• The response code is read-only; attempts to modify it will yield a READ_ONLY_PROPERTY error.
• Effective handling of these codes is essential for robust error management in your scripts.

Example Code Usage

The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve the HTTP response code from a GET request. Note that this is for illustrative purposes only and does not include a complete functional example.

1var response = http.get({
2    url: 'http://www.google.com'
3});
4log.debug({
5    title: 'Client Response Code',
6    details: response.code
7});

Who This Affects

• Developers using SuiteScript for HTTP requests
• Administrators overseeing script deployments
• QA teams testing integrations and scripts

Key Takeaways

• Client HTTP response codes indicate request outcomes and should be handled appropriately.
• The response code is immutable, meaning it cannot be altered after retrieval.
• Effective logging of response codes improves debugging and monitoring for developers.
