No idea why you're seeing this behavior - in my experience, HttpClient  
either throws an exception or returns a valid status code.

Though I've never had this happen with HttpClient, some 3rd party jars  
can trigger Errors instead of Exceptions, so make sure you've got a  
catch(Throwable t) in place.
