	<para>An <type>ne_status</type> type represents an HTTP
response status; used in response messages giving a result of request.
The <structfield>major_version</structfield> and
<structfield>minor_version</structfield> fields give the HTTP version
supported by the server issuing the response.  The
<structfield>code</structfield> field gives the status code of the
result (lying between 100 and 999 inclusive), and the
<structfield>klass</structfield> field gives the
class<footnote><para>the field is named <quote>klass</quote> not
<quote>class</quote> so that the header can be used from a C++
program, in which <quote>class</quote> is a reserved
word)</para></footnote>, which is equal to the most significant digit
of the status.</para>

	<para>There are five classes of HTTP status code defined by
