#' Give information on the status of a request.
#'
#' Extract the http status code and convert it into a human readable message.
#'
#' http servers send a status code with the response to each request. This code
#' gives information regarding the outcome of the execution of the request
#' on the server. Roughly speaking, codes in the 100s and 200s mean the request
#' was successfully executed; codes in the 300s mean the page was redirected;
#' codes in the 400s mean there was a mistake in the way the client sent the
#' request; codes in the 500s mean the server failed to fulfill
#' an apparently valid request. More details on the codes can be found at
#' `http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Http_error_codes`.
#'
#' @param x a request object or a number.
#' @return If the status code does not match a known status, an error.
#'  Otherwise, a list with components
#'  \item{category}{the broad category of the status}
#'  \item{message}{the meaning of the status code}
