Description

As I was implementing a GithubStream for community_profile, I stumbled upon the following issue:

Some repos actually return a 404 when we request their community_profile. It is quite lucky that this got caught early thanks to the main test repo being one of these edge-cases. Though I still do not understand why.

As a workaround, we could allow tolerated_http_errors and handle them differently. This is what I have implemented here. But I am open to other ideas 😄

Open question:

  • Is it worth implementing at the SDK level? This seems a bit specific to GitHub but 🤷

Research direction

Start by comparing the GitHub community_profile responses for facebook/react and MeltanoLabs/target-athena, then review the workaround linked in the issue. Determine whether tolerated HTTP errors belong in the SDK or only this tap; done means the chosen scope and behavior for the 404 case are defined and covered by tests.
