Gets the last error associated with the stream.

const boost::system::error_code & error() const;

Return Value

Remarks

Example

To take action given a specific error:

urdl::istream is("http://somesite/page");
if (!is)
{
  if (is.error() == urdl::http::errc::forbidden)
  {
    std::cout << "Computer says no" << std::endl;
  }
}
