Copy code
{
code: 404,
data: {}

09/12/2023, 7:37 PMit doesn't work as the receiving application will check the HTTP code which is 200

09/12/2023, 7:45 PM@Sim Greenbaum Do you have any control over that application?

09/12/2023, 7:46 PMFor cases where I don't have control over the receiving application, I've built a Google Cloud function relay - that relay accepts requests from the receiving application, forwards it to Netsuite, unwraps the response, and replies to the application with the appropriate status code.

09/13/2023, 5:32 PM@Shawn Talbert I might refine that a bit by suggesting that you catch and analyze errors, then throw the ones you want to throw

09/13/2023, 7:13 PMif you have something meaningful to do with the exception then sure, that's what

09/13/2023, 7:13 PMI've seen far too many scripts with copious try/catch blocks that simply swallow errors

09/13/2023, 7:14 PMi wanted to catch it and handle the http response but not catching is the way to go
