Finding the meaning of SCOM Web check error codes

After creating a web check monitor in SCOM using the Web Application Availability Monitoring template or the one for Web Application Transaction Monitoring you might get errors on the monitored web pages you did not expect.

Unfortunately this requires an extra step.
We have this error 80072F78 and it turns out this is a HEX code and on the page where we have to find the error codes it is written as a normal number. I think it is unfortunate, but how to get there anyway?

I am not saying these kind of errors are much more clear using this method, but it seems to be what is received by the IE engine in SCOM.
 
Good luck!
