$http error callback doesn't have xhr.statusText

[phillycoder]

There is no way to get XHR statusText in $http error callback. Currently this only returns status(number - statusCode).

It would be really helpful to get status text to display the server error message in the browser.

Like examples,
404 - Resource not found
400 - User ID already exists

@jimlyndon thank you!

No prob. I have a story on the wall waiting for this fix as well. So we'll see :)

Hi Guys, Anyone know if this is fixed in the trunk?

We're working with another team's backend that we don't really have control over and it would be really nice if we could leverage that system's existing error messages by using the status text.

The PR mentioned above hasn't been pulled, and I don't know if the fix has
been satisfied by another, as I haven't heard back from anyone on the PR
and have been off the grid w other projects.

But it's an easy fix and super useful. Feel free to comment on the PR
thread also.

Same here, we also need to get the status text of the responses.
