            Zend_Http_Response provides easy access to an HTTP responses
            message, as well as a set of static methods for parsing HTTP
            response messages. Usually, Zend_Http_Response is used as an object
            returned by a Zend_Http_Client request.

            In most cases, a Zend_Http_Response object will be instantiated
            using the factory() method, which reads a string containing an HTTP
            response message, and returns a new Zend_Http_Response object:

            The Zend_Http_Response class also includes several internally-used
