          conditionally_required: If request has ended with an error.
        examples: ['timeout', 'java.net.UnknownHostException', 'server_certificate_invalid', '500']
        note: |
          If the request fails with an error before response status code was sent or received,
          `error.type` SHOULD be set to exception type (its fully-qualified class name, if applicable)
          or a component-specific low cardinality error identifier.

          If response status code was sent or received and status indicates an error according to [HTTP span status definition](/docs/http/http-spans.md),
          `error.type` SHOULD be set to the status code number (represented as a string), an exception type (if thrown) or a component-specific error identifier.

          The `error.type` value SHOULD be predictable and SHOULD have low cardinality.
          Instrumentations SHOULD document the list of errors they report.

          The cardinality of `error.type` within one instrumentation library SHOULD be low, but
          telemetry consumers that aggregate data from multiple instrumentation libraries and applications
          should be prepared for `error.type` to have high cardinality at query time, when no
          additional filters are applied.

          If the request has completed successfully, instrumentations SHOULD NOT set `error.type`.          
      - ref: network.protocol.name

          Host identifier of the ["URI origin"](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-uri-origin) HTTP request is sent to.          
        note: >
          If an HTTP client request is explicitly made to an IP address, e.g. `http://x.x.x.x:8080`, then
          `server.address` SHOULD be the IP address `x.x.x.x`. A DNS lookup SHOULD NOT be used.
