Daniel implemented one constant for each error code in the gb.net.curl 
component, but not a function that would give you the text of the error.

I am aware of this common problem for a long time. This is the reason why in 
Gambas I usually prefer error strings against error numbers. 

But this is a different thing when you write a library in C or C++, so you 
often have these numerical codes in some components: they come from the 
underlying library, and so are easier to implement.

If you want a list of error codes, you can look in the source code. They are 
not documented at the moment, but I will do it soon.
