Exception-throwing mode

[FGasper]

It would be useful for this module to throw exceptions on various failures: network failure, 400/500 return code, etc.

Has this kind of operation mode been discussed previously?

Perhaps a simple, overridable _throw() method?

I wouldn't want to assume any particular exception style, nor do I think further subclassing for overriding is the right approach.

Generally, customization in HTTP::Tiny has been done with callbacks and that might be the way to go. Either on the ::UA object or in the request or both, have a result_callback that is passed the result hash (or object) prior to returning it. Then users could program their own exception mechanism there.

result_callback => sub {
    my $r = shift;
    die "Error $r->{status}: $r->{reason}\n" if !$r->{success};
}

I'm open to a pull request along those lines (with tests!) if you want to write it. :-)
