Description
I noticed that Microsoft platforms return empty string from HCHttpCallResponseGetPlatformNetworkErrorMessage . I suppose platErrCode can be inspected somehow, but it's value is engine specific and will be different between XDK and GDK/WIN32. What is recommended way to get human readable error regardless of the platform?

Research direction
Start by tracing HCHttpCallResponseGetPlatformNetworkErrorMessage on the Microsoft platform implementations and inspect how platErrCode is produced and exposed. Determine whether a platform-independent human-readable message is expected, and document or implement a consistent outcome for XDK and GDK/WIN32. Done means the recommended error-reporting behavior is clear and verified on the affected platforms.
