Implementation of HttpStatus as an enumeration precludes other status codes [SPR-9068]

[spring-projects-issues]

Willis Blackburn opened SPR-9068 and commented

I'm trying to implement RFC 2324 but cannot return HTTP response code 418 because it's not defined in the HttpStatus enumeration.

More generally, the enumeration of specific status values precludes the use of any others.

If you some code you'd like to share, please do so! Spring could definitely do with a RFC 2324 implementation (aka spring-htcpcp).
