title: Can we create custom HTTP Status codes?
body: <p>I have a REST and WCF service and want to send a custom status code based on the operation.</p>
  <p>For example when some validation fails then I want to send HTTP 444 and when authorization fails I want to send HTTP 455</p>
  <p>The question is how do we have it validated for both SOAP and REST web services.</p>
  <p>On the client how does the error code act because when you send an HTTP 400/500 from a WCF Service (using SOAP) an exception is thrown on the client showing the status code?</p>
  <p>Now if I send a new custom status code how does the client handle this?</p>
