Research direction

Start at subscriptionApi.getSubscriptionByKey("xyzzy", requestOptions) and trace how a 404 response is handled by the Java client. Confirm that the call raises KillBillClientException rather than returning null, and that the exception contains the response code.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For code like:

subscriptionApi.getSubscriptionByKey("xyzzy", requestOptions)

The client returns null on 404 errors. This is unexpected. The client should throw a KillBillClientException containing the response code.
