The `Err` method on a resource returned by the [`resources.GetRemote`] function returns an error message if the HTTP request fails, else nil. If you do not handle the error yourself, Hugo will fail the build.
[`resources.GetRemote`]: functions/resources/getremote
In this example we send an HTTP request to a nonexistent domain:
```go-html-template
{{ $url := "https://broken-example.org/images/a.jpg" }}
{{ with resources.GetRemote $url }}
{{ with .Err }}
{{ errorf "%s" . }}
{{ else }}
<img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
{{ end }}
{{ else }}
{{ errorf "Unable to get remote resource %q" $url }}
{{ end }}
```
The code above captures the error from the HTTP request, then fails the build:
```text
ERROR error calling resources.GetRemote: Get "https://broken-example.org/images/a.jpg": dial tcp: lookup broken-example.org on 127.0.0.53:53: no such host
```
To log an error as a warning instead of an error:
```go-html-template
{{ $url := "https://broken-example.org/images/a.jpg" }}
{{ with resources.GetRemote $url }}
{{ with .Err }}
{{ warnf "%s" . }}
{{ else }}
<img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
{{ end }}
{{ else }}
{{ errorf "Unable to get remote resource %q" $url }}
{{ end }}
```
{{% note %}}
An HTTP response with a 404 status code is not an HTTP request error. To handle 404 status codes, code defensively using the nested `with-else-end` construct as shown above.
