When i try to load an image using the library sometimes the image may not be available the application then crashes even thought i used errorWidget in the constructor.
here is my example:

 CachedNetworkImage(
                    imageUrl: userPayload.photo,
                    width: 90,
                    height: 90,
                    placeholder: (context, url) {
                      return DefaultUserAvatarWidget();
                    },
                    errorWidget: (context, url, error) {
                      return DefaultUserAvatarWidget();
                    },
                  )

error:
HttpException (HttpException: No valid statuscode. Statuscode was 404)
