Obtaining the status of a request?

I'm still slowly working my way through the libwww documentation, and I've
run into some more questions.  

I want to retrieve the http status of a request outside of the termination
handler.  HTRequest_error() looks like it will give me this information,
but...what do I do with the HTList object returned by HTRequest_error()?

The HTError module provides functions for adding and deleting errors from
an error stack, but doesn't appear to provide any accessor functions.  All
I want is to do something like this:

  errlist=HTRequest_error(request);
  while (HTList_nextObject(errs)) {
	print_out_the_status_code_of_this_error(errs);
  }

I assume I'm missing something frightfully obvious, but...err, I'm still
missing it. :)
