[Opensim-users] Strange error on master when using llHTTPRequest on master

[Chris M]

I believe I may have stumbled across the issue; it seems that in the 
http_response(key id, integer status, list meta, string body) event, 
status always contains 499 and body always contains "The remote server 
returned an error: (status code) Some string" instead of the actual 
status number and the string sent back in body by the server I'm 
connecting to as expected on LL grid and on OS 0.7.5

For example, If I put llSay(0, (string)status + llUnescapeURL(body)); in 
my script I see this: "499 The remote server returned an error: (404) 
Not Found." instead of "404 NOTFOUND: Missing item name here" "NOTFOUND: 
Missing item name here" is the string  in body from the database server.

I can parse the string to extract the the correct status code with this:
list temp = llParseString2List(llUnescapeURL(body), ["The remote server 
returned an error: ", "(", ")"], []);
integer new_status = llList2Integer(temp, 0);

and proceed from there.

The "NOTFOUND: Missing item name here" string sent back in body by the 
database server is lost though (whether I extract the status code from 
the string or not), and the script depends on that information to 
determine what wasn't found, and act accordingly to it.

Was this change in how the status codes are handled intentional?

I apologize if the entire explanation seems confusing and/or long 
winded; but this was a very confusing thing for me to try to write out :)
