HTTP status code constants should include the string description

[robertfalconer]

The HTTP status code constants provided in HttpHeaders should include the string description, e.g. HTTP_STATUS_CLIENT_ERROR_NOT_FOUND = "404 Not Found" rather than just 404. I know the string description can technically be anything but that would be very uncommon, so it makes more sense to just include the whole string than making the user of the constants add the Not Found themselves.

Hi @robertfalconer. An issue with that is that the constants are also used for comparisons when receiving responses from an HTTP client when contacting other APIs etc. However as the strings would no longer match there would be no way to easily check if the response you received was a 404 etc. Can you see or suggest a way of getting both features?
