Thanks for this detailed explanation, I learned a lot of how to
"discover" the history of a piece of code (didn't know about
"annotate").

Regarding the codes themselves: As the tests for 200 and 206 came from
just needing them, I think there's no reason to not include the rest of
200.

So, in the base that the RFC says that "2xx" codes means that the
request was succeded, I think we shouldn't raise an Exception.

Right now, it's a bug. Do you think it's safe to fix this or will break
much code?

Regards,
