There are two things that would improve the HTTP Response Status Line:
1.) Conform to standard terminology. What Wireshark calls the Response Code is
more properly referred to as the Status Code.
2.) Make the Reason Phrase filterable/exportable. The Status Code portion of
the Response Status Line is currently filterable/exportable, but not the Reason
Phrase. This would be sufficient if only the standard Reason Phrases were used
because they could be inferred from the Status Code. But I have witnessed some
web server implementations that return non-standard text in the Reason Phrase
that includes diagnostic information specific to the request.
