Concise alternative to javascript switch

PandaUploader.getHttpStatusText = function(statusCode) {
    return {
        400: "Bad Request",
        401: "Unauthorized",
        404: "Not Found",
        412: "Precondition Failed",
        415: "Unsupported Media Type",
        500: "Internal Server Error"
    }[statusCode*1]
};

The *1 forces statusCode to a number and looks up the corresponding string value in the json object.
