Additional HTTP Status Codes

[marinewater]

HTTP Status codes from RFC 6585,
Especially 429 - Too Many Requests is pretty useful for APIs, I think it is worth including.
I did not implement 511 - Network Authentication Required because it is

for use by intercepting proxies that are interposed as a means of controlling access to the network.

Thanks for the new codes!

Any idea when 1.5.3 will come out? I was actually just needing this feature myself.

[mmerickel]

As a new feature I hadn't intended to put this in the 1.5 series.

[jvanasco]

Ok. thanks for the fast reply. I'll just have our deployscript apply this as a patch for now.

@jvanasco Unless you specifically need the Exceptions, you can already set these status codes on a response and WebOb will correctly send out the correct information.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I needed to raise an Exception because the existing code relies on httpexceptions.exception_response (which looks up the numeric code in the httpexceptions.status_map). It would be a bit of work to change our code, and this is coming down the pipeline.

I should bring up an idea I had though for making the exceptions a bit more extensible. I'll propose that in a new ticket.
