In fact, it appears I have that locally: commit 7fe6abcd775dbffd919891d5838f8d125e41f160 Author: Josh Steadmon <steadmon@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 11 16:25:18 2018 -0800 lib-httpd, t5551: check server-side HTTP errors Add an HTTP path to the test server config that returns an ERR pkt-line unconditionally. Verify in t5551 that remote-curl properly detects this ERR message and aborts. Signed-off-by: Josh Steadmon <steadmon@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> It's handled fine by the merge 7be333a6362882e8ffceef3de830dbbfafe99995 (Merge branch 'js/smart-http-detect-remote-error' into pu, 2019-01-11), though. So I think what is in "pu" is okay, without shooting any series down. (Alternatively we can combine them into a single five-patch series, if the maintainer prefers.) Thanks, Jonathan
