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

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi Chris.  This is very likely an unintentional regression.  I would suspect an unintentional change in 
ScriptsHttpRequest.cs since that introduces a 499 on certain exceptions, though on a quick look I don't see anything 
obvious since it should be passing through genuine protocol errors.

I should think this behaviour change was introduced later than 3611d33 (Mon Mar 18 22:04:27 2013) since the immediately 
following changes are unrelated to http (being attachment changes).  As ever, bisecting this change to a specific commit 
would be extremely helpful.
