+Accessing additional data in errback functions
+----------------------------------------------
+
+In case of a failure to process the request, you may be interested in
+accessing arguments to the callback functions so you can process further
+based on the arguments in the errback. The following example shows how to
+achieve this by using ``Failure.request.cb_kwargs``::
+
+    def parse(self, response):
+        request = scrapy.Request('http://www.example.com/index.html',
+                                 callback=self.parse_page2,
+                                 errback=self.errback_page2,
+                                 cb_kwargs=dict(main_url=response.url))
+        yield request
+
+    def parse_page2(self, response, main_url):
+        pass
+
+    def errback_page2(self, failure):
+        yield dict(
+            main_url=failure.request.cb_kwargs['main_url'],
