Upgrade Guide

Upgrading from v6 to v7

CFHttp HTTP Client

This client now returns more accurate status codes for 502 Bad Gateway and 408 Request Timeout responses.

If you were previously checking specifically for 504 status codes for bad hosts, you need to now either check for 502 status codes or use a more general method, like isServerError or isError.

If you were previously checking specifically for 504 status codes or isServerError for timed out requests, you need to now either check for 408 status codes, isClientError, or the more general isError.

Upgrading from v5 to v6

 */
public struct function debug( required HyperRequest req );
