Hi there,

I'm wondering whether it's possible to
backport a35a2f0192f78c762ed1009025e673cf09862d4d from 0.12.x to 0.10.x.
There are few reasons "why":

1. There are enterprise REST APIs that prefer to leverage HTTP status codes
>5xx with custom status messages

2. Most of high level node.js HTTP client libraries, including superagent,
are based on "http" core module, which means it's impossible to add a
support to those libraries until it's supported by core modules. Another
option is to re-implement HTTP parser in JS, which is overkill.

3. Due to nature of business and applications most people are developing
for enterprise it's very difficult to switch from 0.10.x to 0.12.x in the
nearest feature, but having access to that status message is still very
important for seamless integration with some of REST APIs.

4. Status message has been part of HTTP spec forever and it's kind of sad
it's been missing in the core since the day one :)

Thanks!
