## Introduction

HTTP status codes as nicknames.

Examples:

    Net::HTTP::Status::OK  #=> 200
    Net::HTTP::Status::NOT_FOUND  #=> 404

## Why?

Why use these instead of just using a number? Because we prefer using nicknames that are easy.

Why use these instead of the codes that already exist in other libraries, like Ruby Net::HTTP, Rack Utils, and Rails ActionPack? Because we want WebDAV codes (e.g. 403 means a resource is locked) and informal convention codes (e.g. 599 means a network connect timeout).
