The HTTP constants all have names like HTTP_OK rather than OK. They are not guaranteed to match the handler return codes, although many of them do. > I'd rather not have to check every possible status() value in a huge if/else > tree to return the right constant You could make a hash that maps handler response codes to HTTP codes. Most people don't need to do that because they only use one or two codes. - Perrin
