detecting "we have no imagery" of google maps street view static images

Question

I'm generating street view static images like so:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=1080x400&location=%s&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=0&key=%s

If you visit that link you see an image that says, "Sorry, we have no imagery for this..."

Is there any way to detect this "sorry" state so that I can fall back to another image?

this situation is already build in in the 3.0 version due the boolean test status === streetviewStatus.Ok, here is a snippet from my situation solving

if (status === google.maps.StreetViewStatus.OK) {
            var img = document.createElement("IMG");
            img.src = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=160x205&location='+ lat +','+ lng  +'&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyC_OXsfB8-03ZXcslwOiN9EXSLZgwRy94s';
            var oldImg = document.getElementById('streetViewImage');
            document.getElementById('streetViewContainerShow').replaceChild(img, streetViewImage);
        } else {
            var img = document.createElement("IMG");
            img.src = '../../images/ProfilnoProfilPicture.jpg';
            img.height = 205;
            img.width = 160;
            var oldImg = document.getElementById('streetViewImage');
            document.getElementById('streetViewContainerShow').replaceChild(img, streetViewImage);
        }
