1108 :: getContent error handling?

• Daimon (orginal) [2015-04-07T21:49:10+02:00] view original

  So it's time for another stupid question.

  I'm using getContent to ping a local server with the simple intent of checking if it's running or not.

  If it's not running, I need to display a message to the user, so there's nothing fancy going on.

  Now, if the server is indeed not running, I get: Traceback (most recent call last) openbd.nim(183) openbd httpclient.nim(491) getContent httpclient.nim(472) get httpclient.nim(445) request httpclient.nim(428) request net.nim(496) connect os.nim(277) raiseOSError

  Error: unhandled exception: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

  [OSError]

  Is there a way for me to check the Error: message?

  Catch the exception and then call getCurrentExceptionMsg().

  I know what I need to do, but not how.

  I've tried looking for Nim error handling, but found nothing, I just went looking for exception handling and I think I found what I need, thanks dom96
