Thanks for the PR!

If I understand correctly, the two changes are:

(1) catch a handler crash with ValueError
(2) not return False to cycle to a next URL, in case of a crash like (1), but also any "unknown" report.

Can you provide a bit more insight into the situation that triggered the undesirable behavior for you?

What handler tripped? On which kind of URL?

Maybe some configuration is too broad in the defaults.

With this change, the return value semantics of the function are a bit crippled. I want to understand, whether you point to a conceptual issue with the imolemented logic. Thanks!

In the ERA5 dataset, some files are available both from the CDS using datalad-cds as well as from a data project on JUDAC called MeteoCloud. I want to register ssh:// as well as potentially file:// URLs to make DataLad and git-annex retrieve the files from the MeteoCloud project if possible.

One of those files now looks like this:

$ pixi run git annex whereis 01/2008010101_ml.grb

  uncurl: file:///home/icg149/Playground/2008010101_ml.grb
  uncurl: ssh://judac.fz-juelich.de/p/data1/slmet/met_data/ecmwf/era5/grib/2008/01/2008010101_ml.grb

ok

Now the two issues are these:

1. Returning False on UrlOperationsResourceUnknown means that if the file is not found at the file:// URL, then the uncurl remote doesn't fallback to the ssh:// URL and instead just fails to retrieve the file.
2. As soon as the cds: URL is encountered the uncurl remote crashes because it gets a ValueError from here:

   datalad-next/datalad_next/url_operations/any.py

   Line 137 in 25ac6ef

   raise ValueError(f'unsupported URL {url!r}')

This PR fixes those two issues by skipping the URL and trying the next one instead.
