 But it's not a header.  Hmm...ah, here we are: the status line is accessible
 through methods of java.net.HttpURLConnection: getResponseCode() and
 getResponseMessage()...though there's no method to get the protocol version.
 
 gcj doesn't currently implement getResponseCode() or getResponseMessage().  I'll
 write them tonight or tomorrow.
