http.client.request error unexpected execution exception

EDIT: I stand corrected, I don't think you passed an HTML link =)...I think Lithium messed up with the v2 editor...it parses links in PRE/CODE blocks and they are then displayed as HTML... ping SuzieH could you forward that issue to the appropriate team? There is another issue as well, editing a post removes ALL closing tags in FreeMarker code...basically have to redo code blocks each time you edit a post...


Flexerian That is never going to work like that you are passing an entire HTML link-tag as a URL parameter to the http.client.

If you add a <#attempt><#recover></#attempt> block around your code you might get better error messages, not guaranteed though... for now, try this:

 

 

<#attempt>
    <#assign response = http.client.request('...https...domain.com/?action=list_items').get() />
    
    <#if (response.content)?has_content>
        Response had content!
    </#if>
    
    <#if response.hasError>
        ${response.error.message}
    </#if>
    
<#recover>
    Recovered from error: ${.error}
</#attempt>

Thank you luk . I'll be passing this on to the Product Manger for the Editor v2 feature. ChetnaS - please see luk's comment above. Additionally, I noticed issues with XML code samples in PRE tags - so we definitely have some work to do here.
