As you will have set that already, so you can just call $c->res->status to retrieve it.

Again, you'll have set it already - i.e. it'll be retrievable from $c->res->headers if you need it.

What's the use-case here? Generally for a 200 you need to render a template, and for a 302 you don't want to (as there is no body), and the RenderView action class handles these default cases automagically.

This (generally) means that you don't need to get these values back - why do you think you need to / what are you trying to achieve?

Maybe :)

You can explicitly set this, or you can let it default (in _some_ views) - it depends on your app.
