Spring Boot controller with custom status codes?

In Spring Boot 1.3.5 (Java 8) I'd like my controller to return a custom status code and status msg. By "Custom" I mean, a status code that is not in org.springframework.http.HttpStatus.

I know, I should stick with the standard codes (but I can't).

Currently my controller does a 

 HttpServletResponse response

  .
  .

 response.setStatus(255)

I get the expected 

 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No matching constant for [255]
     at org.springframework.http.HttpStatus.valueOf(HttpStatus.java:488)
     at org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.StatusResultMatchers.getHttpStatusSeries(StatusResultMatchers.java:139)

Note, the operation may be successful, so in that case I want to return a custom 2xx code with a response object (i.e. sendError doesn't help).

Google says this may be available in springframework 4.3, but does anyone have thoughts for implementing now (with springframework 4.2.6)?

Custom http codes work on 4.2. This is the matcher in you junit that fails to assert the response code. Should work on your browser.
