HTTP status structure

    #include <ne_utils.h>

    typedef struct {
        int major_version;
        int minor_version;
        int code;
        int klass;
        char *reason_phrase;
    } ne_status;

## Description

The `ne_status` type represents an HTTP response status; used in response messages giving a result of request. The major_version and minor_version fields give the protocol version supported by the server issuing the response. The code field gives the status code of the result (lying between `100` and `599` inclusive), and the klass field gives the class, which is equal to the most significant digit of the status. The reason_phrase field gives a human-readable string describing the status, which is purely informational (and optional) - any interpretation of the response status must be done using the klass and/or code fields.

There are five classes of response status code defined for HTTP/1.1 (see RFC 9110 ẞ15):

`1xx`

- Informational response.

`2xx`

- Success: the operation was successful

`3xx`

- Redirection

`4xx`

- Client error: the request made was incorrect in some manner.

`5xx`

- Server error

## Notes

The klass field is named klass not class so that the header can be used from a C++ program, in which class is a reserved word.
