=head1 NAME

HTTP::Status - HTTP Status code processing

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use HTTP::Status;

 if ($rc != RC_OK) {
     print status_message($rc), "\n";
 }

 if (is_success($rc)) { ... }
 if (is_error($rc)) { ... }
 if (is_redirect($rc)) { ... }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

I<HTTP::Status> is a library of routines for defining and
classifying HTTP status codes for libwww-perl.  Status codes are
used to encode the overall outcome of a HTTP response message.  Codes
correspond to those defined in RFC 2616 and RFC 2518.

=head1 CONSTANTS

The following constant functions can be used as mnemonic status code
names:

   RC_CONTINUE				(100)
   RC_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS		(101)
   RC_PROCESSING                        (102)

   RC_OK				(200)
   RC_CREATED				(201)
   RC_ACCEPTED				(202)

   RC_MULTIPLE_CHOICES			(300)
   RC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY			(301)
   RC_FOUND				(302)
   RC_SEE_OTHER				(303)
   RC_NOT_MODIFIED			(304)

=head1 FUNCTIONS

The following additional functions are provided.  Most of them are
exported by default.

=over 4

=item status_message( $code )

The status_message() function will translate status codes to human
readable strings. The string is the same as found in the constant
names above.  If the $code is unknown, then C<undef> is returned.

=item is_info( $code )

Return TRUE if C<$code> is an I<Informational> status code.  This
class of status code indicates a provisional response which can't have
any content.

=item is_success( $code )

Return TRUE if C<$code> is a I<Successful> status code.

=item is_redirect( $code )

Return TRUE if C<$code> is a I<Redirection> status code. This class of
status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the
user agent in order to fulfill the request.

=item is_error( $code )

Return TRUE if C<$code> is an I<Error> status code.  The function
return TRUE for both client error or a server error status codes.

=item is_client_error( $code )

Return TRUE if C<$code> is an I<Client Error> status code. This class
of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have
erred.

This function is B<not> exported by default.

=item is_server_error( $code )

Return TRUE if C<$code> is an I<Server Error> status code. This class
of status codes is intended for cases in which the server is aware
that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request.

This function is B<not> exported by default.

=head1 BUGS

Wished @EXPORT_OK had been used instead of @EXPORT in the beginning.
Now too much is exported by default.
