HttpWebResponse returns 404 error

Question

How to allow Httpwebresponse to ignore 404 error and continue it? This is easier than looking for exceptions in the input, as it happens very rarely when this happens.

Answer 1

I assume you have a line somewhere in your code, for example:

HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse; 

Just replace it with the following:

 HttpWebResponse response; try { response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse; } catch (WebException ex) { response = ex.Response as HttpWebResponse; } 

Answer 2

  try { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://mysite.com"); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); } catch(WebException ex) { HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response; if (webResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.NotFound) { //Handle 404 Error... } } 

Answer 3

If you look at the properties of the resulting WebException, you will see the Response property. Is this what you are looking for?
