+# 7. Network errors
+
+Date: 2020-11-22
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Servers may return information with HTTP response codes other than `200`, however those responses may still contain useful data.
+
+## Decision
+
+Fail by default, notifying of the network error. Add option to continue retrieving assets by treating all response codes as `200`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Monolith will fail to obtain resources with status other than `200`, unless told to ignore network errors.
