i think that understanding HTTP should be a prerequisite for anybody dong
anything on the web. it would be nice to properly link all status codes to
the place where they are actually defined, so that it's easy for people to
find the authority defining the codes, but i think we shouldn't try to
hide HTTP. there even is a registry
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xml)
where people can look up the full list of registered code and where they
are registered.
