Note that attribute inetHTTPAttrResult will be zero for
successful queries. If inetHTTPAttrResult != 0, the value of
inetHTTPAttrErrDetail will have the *http* status code and
then value of inetHTTPAttrReason will have the http status
message (not exactly what your server printed - but close to it).
