I was going to change url-http.el like so, in url-http-parse-headers:

         (case url-http-response-status
           ((url-http-code-multiple-choices) ; was 300, uses defconst
...
            nil)
...)

and I thought generating the defconsts would be best without dynamically
generating the symbol name as "url-http-code-%s" from the symbol in the
table.

But instead I can say (url-http-code-number 'multiple-choices).  It's
really a matter of taste.
