Web/API/Response/error

The error() method of the Response interface returns a new Response object associated with a network error.

Note: This is mainly relevant to ServiceWorkers; the error method is used to return an error if you so wish it. An error response has its type set to error.

Note: An "error" Response never really gets exposed to script: such a response to a fetch() would reject the promise.

Syntax

var errorResponse = Response.error();

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Response object.

Example

TBD (does not yet appear to be supported anywhere).
