Failure behaviour

Terraform CLI and Provider Versions
TF 1.4.0, HTTP provider 3.4.0.
Use Cases or Problem Statement
Right now when HTTP request fails whole flow fails. I.e. when there is a problem with DNS or server just not responded.
Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.
╷
│ Error: Error making request
│
│ with data.http.info_json,
│ on ./main.tf line 1, in data "http" "info_json":
│ 1: data "http" "info_json" {
│
│ Error making request: GET
│ http://api.*****/cli/get-info
│ giving up after 1 attempt(s)
Proposal
It would be nice to decide (like in provisioners) if we want to continue or fail (eg. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/resources/provisioners/syntax#failure-behavior).
I am using this to collect statuses of few dozen servers and right now if anyone of them fails, I get TF error.
If it was possible to continue, I would just lost status of that server, instead of all of them.
How much impact is this issue causing?
Medium
