@catch_status_code_error¶

non-200 response will been regarded as fetch failed and will not pass to callback. use this decorator to override this feature.

def on_start(self):
    self.crawl('http://httpbin.org/status/404', self.callback)

@catch_status_code_error  
def callback(self, response):
    ...

The callback would not be executed as the request is failed (with status code 404). With the @catch_status_code_error decorater, the callback would be executed even if the request failed.
