Comment 11 for bug 322486

Hmm? Stephan and Paul's approach is essentially the same as mine. Our suggestion conforms with the interface documentation already in interfaces/http.py:

    def setStatus(status, reason=None):
        """Sets the HTTP status code of the response

        The argument may either be an integer or a string from { OK,
        Created, Accepted, NoContent, MovedPermanently,
        MovedTemporarily, NotModified, BadRequest, Unauthorized,
        Forbidden, NotFound, InternalError, NotImplemented,
        BadGateway, ServiceUnavailable } that will be converted to the
        correct integer value.
        """

The documentation doesn't say that the integer value is restricted. It also forbids passing the string "200"; the fact that it accepts "200" is in fact undocumented behavior.

OTOH, you could reasonably argue that the documentation is in error.
