The error handling in SuiteScript for server responses is crucial for developers to ensure smooth operation of their scripts. This article describes how to manage errors effectively when using the N/http module.

What is the Error Handling Method?

The error-handling method is designed to return specific values related to HTTP responses. If multiple values are associated with a header name, these will be returned as an array. Developers can easily retrieve an HTTP header's values by using this method.

Returns

  • Type: string | string[]

Supported Script Types

  • Server scripts

Governance

  • None

Module

  • N/http Module

Parameters

The method utilizes a single required parameter, which is detailed below:

ParameterTypeDescription
options.namestringThe name of the header to retrieve.

Errors and Handling

Errors can occur when expected parameters are missing or invalid. Below are the common error codes:

Error CodeMessageThrown If
SSS_MISSING_REQD_ARGUMENTMissing a required argument: {param name}options.name parameter is not specified.

Sample Syntax

The following code demonstrates how to retrieve an HTTP response header. Note that this is a syntax outline and not a fully functional example.

suitescript
// Retrieve the 'Accept-Language' header
serverResponse.getHeader({
name: 'Accept-Language'
});

By properly managing errors and ensuring the required parameters are specified, developers can significantly enhance the robustness of their SuiteScript applications.
