How to handle HTTP Status = 0?

Hi

Our ASP.NET Core 6 Web API consume a 3rd party Web API, sometimes we get http status 0 and I don't know what does it mean?, I have tried to handle this using Polly but it doesn't arrive there?

HttpResponseMessage httpRes = _httpClient.GetAsync(url).Result; 
iStatusCode = (int)httpRes.StatusCode;  

if (httpRes.IsSuccessStatusCode) 
{     
    string _res = httpRes.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

    // some tasks 
}

await Models.Tokens.Log.UpdateAsync(tokensPid, iStatusCode);									

Polly:

hi, according to your description, I'm afraid the http status code 0 is a custom code from the 3rd api. Just like you know, we recognize the http status code in range 200-299 as the successful result. Could you please let us know if the code 0 means successful or not in your 3rd api? If it didn't mean successful, we could just put the logic into the else clause. Please correct me if I misunderstood your requirement.

Hi @Anonymous

yes, the http status code in range 2x, 4x and 5x, but what I'm facing is 0, I have confirmed to the tech support of the 3rd party API, but they said they use standard http status code.

what I missed?
