Hi all,

I remember a similar discussion around the Contents-Length header some years ago. 
Can’t we make a similar solution here? Then everyone will be happy and we have a backwards compatible solution.

Thanks,
Jaap

As Eric explained, having the HTTP response code as a number simply gives you
much more advantages (filtering, comparisons, inequalities...) than having it in
text. So this is clearly not a bug as it was done on purpose.

I agree it's not a bug. For the existing purpose of Wireshark it does the job. It just makes some other use-cases a 
bit more difficult.
