Description

If req.status_line is writable it allows a handler to return a custom status line description. For example:

req.status_line = "200 ALL OKAY WITH ME"
req.write('hello world!\n')
return apache.OK

The ability to change the description may be useful in testing. See thread:

for discussion where lack of this feature arose.
