Respond with both body and status code in Nancy

I'm new to Nancy and I want to return both a custom HttpStatusCode and a body (content). If I return an HttpStatusCode, it returns it with a blank body. If I return a string then it returns that as the body but always with a 200 status code of OK.

public class SendSMS : NancyModule
{
    public SendSMS()
    {
        Post["/SendSMS"] = parameters =>
            {
                return HttpStatusCode.BadRequest; // this works, no body
                return "Missing \"to\" parameter"; // this works, 200 status code
                // want to return status code with message
            };
    }
}

This is the simplest way I've found:

Return from your Module:

return new Response {
                StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.NotFound, ReasonPhrase = "Resource not found"
            };

If you have problems with encoding it's better to use 

return new TextResponse(HttpStatusCode.STATUS, "Text Responsé")

You could always create an instance of the Response type and set the Body and StatusCode yourself. If you wanted to take a shortcut you could do something like

var r = (Response)"Some string that goes into the body";
r.StatusCode = 123;

return r;

This should work.

public class SendSMS : NancyModule
{
   public SendSMS()
   {
       Post["/SendSMS"] = parameters =>
       {
           return Negotiate.WithModel("Missing \"to\" param")
                           .WithStatusCode(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)           
       };
   }
}

For more information check the docs on controlling content negotiation.
