## DESCRIPTION

This class represents an error returned by MaxMind's GeoIP2 web service. It extends Throwable::Error and adds attributes of its own.

## METHODS

The `"$error->message()"`, and `"$error->stack_trace()"` methods are inherited from Throwable::Error. The message will be the value provided by the MaxMind web service. See \<http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/web-services\> for details.

It also provides three methods of its own:

### $error-\>code()

Returns the code returned by the MaxMind GeoIP2 web service.

### $error-\>http\_status()

Returns the HTTP status. This should be either a 4xx or 5xx error.

### $error-\>uri()

Returns the URI which gave the HTTP error.

## SUPPORT
