So, given this algorithm, what to do at the '?????':

    boolean resume(Object obj) {
       if (completed)return false;

       try {
          sendResponse(obj);
          connection.close();
          callbacks.onComplete(null);
       } catch (Throwable t) {
          return resume(t);
       }
       return true;
    }

    boolean resume(Throwable t) {
       if (completed)return false;

       try {
          if (mappable(t)) {
              mapException(t);
          } else {
              ??????
          }
          callbacks.onComplete(t);
       } catch (Throwable t) {
          ??????
       } finally {
         connection.close();
       }
    }
