Handling of 4xx and 5xx in default handler (Python)
I built a crawler for crawling the websites and now trying to add functionality to also handle error pages/links like 4xx and 5xx. I was not able to find any documentation regarding that.
So, the question is if it is supported and if yes in what direction to look at?

Hey @rast42
Standard crawlee has its own behavior for status error handling
5xx - cause a repeat
403, 429, 401 - cause session rotation if used
4xx - marked as erroneous without repetition
If you want to handle any statuses yourself you can use
ignore_http_error_status_codes.sunny-green•5mo ago
is it needed to include all the codes in this setting or can we set it to ignore all codes?
You need to include all. Something like.

crazy. is there no better solution to override the error handling?
Could you give examples of the kind of behavior you want to achieve?
Perhaps
error_handler is better for your case
