handling unknown status codes [CakeException] Unkn

Question

How would I handle gracefully failures of another http server i'm talking to via HttpSocket? Haven't been able to find any good examples

Stack Trace:

The [CakeException] Unknown status code is caused because CakePHP doesn't recognize Error Code 110. Check out:

Here's a way to add your custom HTTP code to cake's approved list. I use this in AppController.
