Let me remind...the reason was, probably I just followed the way
of HT_Cache. In HT_Cache, it returns HT_OK in a similar situation.
Also I noticed that almost all of other HT???Event callbacks return
only HT_OK or sometimes HT_ERROR, and the return values of them seem
to be rarely used. (It is sometimes very confusing, because a few code
assumes the return values are meaningful, while some callbacks don't
make them so.)

I agree with you. It will make the situation clearer.
(Also I think that modifying HT_Cache.c similarly would be better.)

Sure I can.
Thank you for your time for maintainance the libwww.
I'm looking forward to the new version of libwww.
