Description

@m-muecke

When a custom error is set with an HTTP code of less than 400 and caching is enabled, the error does not seem to be rethrown.

library(httr2)

request("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1") |>
  req_cache(tempdir(), debug = TRUE) |>
  req_error(is_error = \(resp) TRUE) |>
  req_perform()
#> Pruning cache
#> Saving response to cache "24d35aa431d94a6f148086d4e13301a9"
#> Error in `req_perform()`:
#> ! HTTP 200 OK.
