Hi Don,

Thanks for the verification and the list! I've changed:

   Server Error (500)

to

   Server Error, Service Unavailable, Gateway Timeout (5xx)

in the documentation to include 503/504 as well.

My first idea was to provide my own message for each HTTP error code, 
but then I decided that (at least for a first version) the default 
messages are pretty much OK. I just might combine the 5xx codes into one 
  message later.

Martin.
