Hence, remove this option. The assumption here is that every code path using FAILONERROR is prepared to handle the failing http response codes itself (since we no longer set it at all in get_active_slot()). Is that so? Anything that uses handle_curl_result() is OK. That means run_one_slot() is fine, which in turn covers run_slot() for RPCs, and http_request() for normal one-at-a-time requests. But what about the parallel multiple requests issued by the dumb-http walker code? There I think we end up in step_active_slots(), which calls into finish_active_slot() for completed requests. I think that unconditionally fetches the http code without bothering to look at whether curl reported success or not. So I _think_ that's probably all of the users of the curl handles provided by get_active_slot(). Though given the tangled mess of our HTTP code, I won't be surprised if there's a corner case I missed in that analysis. -Peff
