Thanks for looking into this. The behavior you described above seems like the correct one to me. > I believe that this behavior is suppressing errors and looks like it's a bug as reported in https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/1006 I don't follow this since the expected value should be `True`. According to the spec, the function returns `True` only for the 204 status code. There's a theory in the other thread (https://github.com/polaris-catalog/polaris/issues/96#issuecomment-2272474147) that the error is due to managed Polaris not implementing the HEAD API, which would cause any HEAD request to return 404.
