}

ParameterTypeDescription

Promise<HTTPResponse | null>

Exceptions

If:

  • there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates). - target URL is invalid. - the timeout is exceeded during navigation. - the remote server does not respond or is unreachable. - the main resource failed to load.

This method will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error". The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling HTTPResponse.status().

Remarks

Navigation to about:blank or navigation to the same URL with a different hash will succeed and return null.
