Retrieving HTTP status code from a loaded xul:browser tag

Question

Thanks to everyone in advance -

I took a look at this -

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1549831/an-observer-for-page-loads-in-a-custom-xulbrowser

I am guessing that might be a path for determining the HTTP status code, but does anyone know of an easier way? I have flipped through the contentDocument as well...no dice.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sam

I looked for a bit and I don't think there is an easier way. The HTTP status code is an attribute of a request (and only of an HTTP request), so it appears to die with the request object (nsIHttpChannel), since nothing cares to save it.
