Make support for custom HttpStatusCodes 9xx about arc-electron

[jarrodek]

Hi,
You are almost right. Wikipedia might say that but spec says something different. It says that even though the client may not understand specific status code (like 419) but it must understand the class of the status code.

HTTP status codes are extensible. HTTP applications are not required
to understand the meaning of all registered status codes, though such
understanding is obviously desirable.

But next sentence is:

However, applications MUST
understand the class of any status code, as indicated by the first
digit, and treat any unrecognized response as being equivalent to the
x00 status code of that class [...]

Specification describes only 5 different classes of status code: 1xx - 5xx.

Web clients implemented in JavaScript disallow creating a Response object with the status code < 100 or > 599. When you try it throws an error. Therefore web client for such API wouldn't be possible.

I don't think that ARC should support something that is not allowed by the spec. I mean it easily can but it could lead other developers into a trap when the app allows a behavior that in real world would result with huge issue.

I'm closing it as won't fix but feel free to discuss the issue.
