Feature #6569: [PATCH] Add HTTP status codes defined in RFCs 2295, 2817, 2774, 4918 and 5842

Currently Net::HTTP and WEBrick define status codes from RFC 2616 and 6585 but there are many others defined in RFCs besides them.

Most of these are actually used in real world applications, not to mention Rails.

I agree about 2817 and 4918, but others are experimental.
Could you show real applications which use such experimental RFCs?

[knu (Akinori MUSHA)]

Because you say so, I'll keep 208, 506, 508 and 510 unadded until I get a proof.

Among the uncertain four, I've observed 510 responses returned from some local (Japanese) hosting services, but I'm not sure if they are generated by a widely distributed server/middleware or from the companies' in-house software.

Just for the record, status codes 506 and 510 are listed in Apache's http_protocol.c, while 208 is unlisted and 508 is marked as unused.
