Well, I would expect it to. You need to make a mental separation between HTML
and HTTP. HTML is the data/text that you transfer and HTTP is the protocol
used to transfer it.
HTTP result codes only say basic things about the transfer, such as "file/url
not found" etc. The "200 OK" message above simply means that the data transfer
succeeded - you got a page.
Anything more advanced than that, such as whether the data you submitted in
your last data transfer was satisfactory for the server, will have to go in
the HTML message.

I'm afraid so.
