Unfortunately I don't see a way to easily do this. I didn't even
remembered that the internal representation for the reason was
conveyed, I thought it was built when serializing the status on the
wire.
In fact, since the advent of HTTP/2 which completely dropped the reason
phrase, you really cannot trust that element anymore at all. It used to
be very unreliable even before HTTP/2 since plenty of proxies were
placing their own reason for a given code, but nowadays it's really
impossible to trust it anymore.
Out of curiosity, what would be your use case ?
Thanks,
Willy
