http read failed: %w

Error message

http read failed: %w

What it means

Fired in Read when the signed POST to the WeKnoraCloud /reader endpoint fails at the transport level (p.client.Do returned an error): network outage, DNS failure, TLS problem, or the context was cancelled/timed out. No response was received, so the read task was never submitted.

Solutions

  1. Check connectivity to the WeKnoraCloud service endpoint
  2. Inspect the wrapped error for timeout vs connection-refused vs TLS causes
  3. Retry with backoff; transport errors are often transient
  4. If context deadline exceeded, increase the caller's timeout or pollTimeout
Defensive patterns

Strategy: retry
