Add failure mode and data custodian to failure reports #2

Open ndkv opened 9 years ago

The CSVs of failed links are super handy! They'll be even more useful if they provide information on the failure mode (broken link, timeout, no dataset associated with a catalog entry, etc.) and the owner/custodian of the dataset. The failure mode will allows us to quickly check whether a service is really broken or is e.g. addressed incorrectly (see #1) while info on the owner will allow us to contact them (automatically?) to request a fix.

@ndkv the failure mode is already available in the failed_resources.csv file, e.g.:

ahn1-100-meter-maaiveldraster,http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/ahn1/wcs?,404,Not Found

I'll look into adding the maintainer info!
