402 Payment Required

Error message

402 Payment Required

What it means

Constant defining the 402 Payment Required response expectation: applying it via expecting(...) turns a 402 response into a failed request future. 402 is reserved for payment schemes; the 'message' is the reason reported in the expectation failure.
