I’ve already read specs, proposed in glance about error codes.Actually I
don’t prefer leave such content in message payload at least due to the fact
error messages is translated, and can be changed while transmitting. Also,
as far as I remember in some openstack projects (can’t say more precisely
where) error messages is generated in the strange way, and put something
new in it will be hard, also some problems will appear while extracting.

Thanks, I’ll contact you via IRC.

Sure, maybe I wrongly spoke it. Library definitely shouldn’t contain  error
messages, errors or something like this - if so it will make managing
errors much more difficult. it should have stuff to put/extract header from
response and, you are right, other needed utilities.
