To get error status code with Node http get, we can listen for the error event.
For instance, we write
const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://example.com", (response) => {
console.log(response.statusCode);
});
request.on("error", (error) => {
console.error(error.status);
});
to call get to make a request to https://example.com.
We get the statusCode for a normal response with response.statusCode in the callback.
If there’s an error, then the error event callback is called and we get the status from error.status.
We listen for the error event with request.on`.
