Cloudfare status codes

[mihai-dinculescu]

Cloudflare seems to be defining a few custom error codes in the 5xx area. Not cool, I know. https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003011431-Troubleshooting-Cloudflare-5XX-errors

The StatusCode enum doesn't contain them, and this causes a panic in the Response constructor. https://github.com/http-rs/http-types/blob/main/src/status_code.rs

Is there a plan to add these error codes to the enum or to rework it in such a way that the Response constructor doesn't panic?

Are these Responses being constructed with a proxy? Can the proxy call StatusCode::try_from::<u16> on the original status before constructing a response from it and replace the status with a standard one? This isn't mutually exclusive with one of the other fixes you suggest but would certainly be faster than a breaking change to http-types

I've experienced a panic from surf. I will raise a ticket in their repo as well.

However, wouldn't the Response implementation be a lot more user-friendly (yes, I'm avoiding the idiomatic word here) if it would return an Err(NonStandardErrorCode) instead of panicking and forcing all upstream callers to make sure that only valid status codes are passed?
