   `pass_through` error type.
 - Improvement: Add a `get_transport_error` method to Asio transport connections
   to allow retrieving a machine readable native transport error.
+- Improvement: Add `connection::get_status` and `connection::get_response`
+  methods to allow accessing additional information about the HTTP responses

 - Documentation: Adds an example demonstrating the use of external `io_service`
 - Bug: Fix memory leak when init_asio produces an error. #454 Thank you Mark
