hi Folks,

I'm new around here - nice to meet you !

I'm catching the HTTPException and it appears that I can't get hold of the 
message body to check it's correct in the case of 400 errors. The HTTP 
spec states "Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD 
include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and 
whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. " 
SO, is it possible that you've already thought of this? OR, is someone 
working on it already? OR  can I contribute it?

There are two ways to do this either 
a) read in the message body and put it in the HTTPException OR 
b) just put the originating response into the HTTPException and let the 
user do it. 

Judging by the rest of the code I'm guessing you folks prefer a)? 

cheers,
John.
