We don't have enough oversight on our HTTP calls in tools.remote_caller.go. We only check if http.Post and http.NewRequest return an error, but don't use the http.Response.StatusCode attribute.

I suggest that we get the response status code handling closer from the calling method, by declaring the expected response status code in the HTTPCaller constructor for each method of a ressource, like this :

tools.NewHTTPCaller(
       map[tools.DataType]map[tools.METHOD]string{
			tools.ADMIRALTY_SOURCE: map[tools.METHOD]string{
				tools.POST : "/:id",
				success_code : http.StatusOK     // <---- HERE
			},
}

Implemented a first draft of how to handle the result of an HTTP call with a new attribute LastExecution map[string]interface{} in HTTPCaller which can receive the different attribute from the http.Response, however we must think of a way of passing a list of attribute we want to retrieve from the Response.

Currently, the HTTPCaller only stores the result for its last call, in a single attribute, which could be a problem if it is shared by several threads

For the Call to APIs we just implemented it like this :

func (caller *HTTPCaller) StoreResp(resp *http.Response) error {
	caller.LastResults = make(map[string]interface{})
	caller.LastResults["header"] = resp.Header
	caller.LastResults["code"] = resp.StatusCode
	data, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error reading the body of the last request")
		return err
	}

	caller.LastResults["body"] = data
	return nil
}
