The ResoureResponse class has a HTTP status text field which is not set with the curl backend.

Sadly the curl does not provide a way to extract the http status text so a little workaround is needed.

I've just found out this patch will result a failing http test. So removing the flags and trying to fix it.

what does false mean? add /* ... */ ?

not very trustworthy comment, can you be more specific?

Attempt to extract HTTP status...

The second argument specifies if the string matching should be case sensitive or not. I've never seen that someone adds the comment for this method. But I can do.

In case of the curl backend the FOLLOWLOCATION is set to 1, that'll mean that the libcurl will internally follow the redirections. Thus the headerCallback method will be called more than one times with the line starting "HTTP".

Peter: Can you please revise the comments on line 322-323 with the additional detail you added in the bug?  Once you do, I'll r+ this.  I don't think you need to add a comment to the 'startsWith' method, as it's used all-over-the-place.

Okay, will do.
