Really, it's not just HTTP. There's also FTP and SMTP (and probably
others?) that use similar kinds of 3-digit error codes. What I'm
thinking here is that since the purpose of these is to allow for
logging, it would be good to be more-or-less consistent with the kinds
of error codes logged by other network services.

Of course, I've just looked briefly at online lists of those error
codes, rather than digging up the RFCs that explain them. So, some of
the numbers I picked probably aren't the best choice and should be
changed.
