Description
Pre-question: Regarding semantic errors, should we classify a response status such as 401 as an error? If yes, there seems to be a bug.
I observed that the middleware.onError does not handle errors from response status codes like 401. Upon reviewing the TypeScript code, I noticed how the response is validated
protected async request(context: RequestOpts, initOverrides?: RequestInit | InitOverrideFunction): Promise<Response> {
const { url, init } = await this.createFetchParams(context, initOverrides);
const response = await this.fetchApi(url, init);
if (response && (response.status >= 200 && response.status < 300)) {
return response;
}
throw new ResponseError(response, 'Response returned an error code');
}
but middleware.onError is inside fetchApi function, so it can't be handled properly.
Steps to reproduce
Setup any onError middleware and get response.status == 401 from network call
Suggest a fix
If we consider response.status == 401 as an error, we should verify statuses within the fetchApi function. This way, in the catch block, the response can be sent to middleware.onError.
If the suggestion will be approved, I can work on this issue.

Research direction
Start with the TypeScript fetch implementation's fetchApi and request methods shown in the report, then reproduce a network response with status 401 using an onError middleware. Confirm whether non-2xx responses should be treated as errors, and consider the issue done when the middleware receives the resulting ResponseError and the relevant behavior is covered by a test.
