Answer
Use exceptionally or handle in a catch block within CompletableFuture.
HttpTimeoutException needs careful handling to ensure your application can recover from network delays. Using CompletableFuture's exceptionally method allows you to provide a fallback or log the error. In a shipping API request, catching this exception helps retry the call or notify the user without crashing the app.
