status code %d: %w

Error message

status code %d: %w

What it means

urlSecrets.Get requires HTTP 200 from the secret server; any other status wraps errFailedToGetSecret with the actual status code here. The response body will not be used as a secret and the failure may be retried until attempts are exhausted.

Solutions

1. For 401/403, fix the Authorization header or token configuration
2. For 404, verify the secret key and URL template are correct
3. For 429/5xx the source retries automatically — check service health and rate limits
