get_phrase


Description:

public static unowned string get_phrase (uint status_code)

Looks up the stock HTTP description of status_code.

This is used by set_status to get the correct text to go with a given status code.

There is no reason for you to ever use this function. If you wanted the textual description for the status_code of a given Message, you should just look at the message's reason_phrase. However, you should only do that for use in debugging messages; HTTP reason phrases are not localized, and are not generally very descriptive anyway, and so they should never be presented to the user directly. Instead, you should create you own error messages based on the status code, and on what you were trying to do.

Parameters:

status_code

an HTTP status code

Returns:

the (terse, English) description of status_code
