Hi and welcome to the forum 👋

Please consider wrapping your code and terminal output in backticks (as described here: [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757) ) for easier readability 🙂

Regarding your actual problem:

- What exactly is your desired output? If I understand correctly, your code should print `"Broken Pipe Error - Ignored"` if you encounter the error you mentioned, but keep running? What is the behavior you see instead? (exception/no exception; exact error message)
- I think your code as-is should probably throw an `UndefVarError` if the HTTP error occurs because your catch block inside `main()` doesn’t assign the variable `e`. Are there some parts of the code missing?
