GeoIP Legacy web service now returns HTTP status codes for errors

[MaxMind]

The GeoIP Legacy web service now returns meaningful HTTP status codes for error conditions, so you can act on them in your monitoring or an internal proxy, without parsing the response body:

• 400 Bad Request for a malformed request
• 401 Unauthorized for a missing or invalid license key
• 402 Payment Required when your account is out of queries
• 403 Forbidden when your account does not have permission to use the service
• 5xx for a server error

The response body and its error-code strings are unchanged. The IP_NOT_FOUND case continues to return a 200 OK status to avoid breaking existing integrations.

See the GeoIP Legacy documentation for details.
