net/http/httptest: NewRecorder does not initialize Code to 200

[gopherbot]

by Jens.Alfke:

httptest.Recorder does not mimic the behavior of the real HTTP package when the handler
function does not explicitly call r.WriteHeader or r.Write. The real HTTP server will
return a status code of 200; but Recorder.Code will be 0.

For example with this no-op handler:

func myHandler(r http.ResponseWriter, rq *http.Request) {
}

Used in an actual server, the handler will always result in a status of 200.
But if called directly with an httptest.Recorder as the first parameter, the recorder's
Code will end up as 0, not 200.
