HTTPStatus is much harder to read for me than HttpStatus and it's unclear where the boundary of an acronym starts or stops. If anyone ever decides to make an RFC for this, you have my vote. These Acronyms are treated as words and thus should follow the same naming convention. If they shouldn't be treated as words, write their full name: HypertextTransferProtocolStatus.
