Unable to return non-standard (e.g. >= 512) HTTP status codes

[jpdillingham]

I have a use case that lends itself to using user-defined HTTP status codes, particularly those at or above 512, which are unassigned per the IANA registry. I haven't found anything in the public API that allows me to create HttpResponseData with an integer instead of a member of HttpStatusCode (which is impossible given the design of this class)

Am I missing something, or is this unsupported? And if unsupported, is there rationale that isn't obvious?

@jpdillingham you can accomplish this by casting:

request.CreateResponse((HttpStatusCode)513);

Enums are just facades over int in C#
