If the collector function throws an exception, that means there is no way to handle remaining body data. In some cases this may actually be a deliberate indication that the response is no good; for example, I implemented a length-constrained variant of treq.content(), and if the body exceeds that it's indication of a buggy or malicious server.
As such, the only reasonable thing to do in this situation is to close the transport.
