G'day y'all!

I am using the http request node to get (don't laugh), just a single numeric digit from a web page..

Unfortunately, this page sometimes doesn't respond timeously or resets the connection, or maybe even just ignores the request...

When this happens (60 to 80% of the time), the http request node then stuffs the error into the debug pane...

Is there any way that I can turn this irritation off? (I am picking up the error elsewhere and processing it via a function node)

Or alternatively, possibly another node/method that I can use perhaps?

TIA  
Ed

Have you tried adding a catch note?
