HttpWebRequest Capture Response Even If 500 Internal Server Error Details

Question

When the wrong answer(500) comes from Soap Web Services, i want to see the error details. I can use soap tool, i can do this process using a soap tool and see the error details. But using the WebResponse class in c#, i cannot see the error details.

Do you have any information on this subject?

Soap UI Tool Response Header Raw

WebResponse Exception

Regards.

Is this for troubleshooting, or do you need to get that information into an error message for the user or log entry? If for troubleshooting you can [enable diagnostic tracing](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4271517/how-to-turn-on-wcf-tracing) — Crowcoder, Dec 21 '20 at 13:42

Finally I have reached the right conclusion. And, I wanted to share thinking that someone might need it.

catch (WebException ex)
{
    string exMessage = ex.Message;

    if (ex.Response != null)
    {
        using (var responseReader = new StreamReader(ex.Response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            exMessage = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
}

Err Details:

I wish a healthy New Year for all of us!

Still didn't get the proper message (getting Unicode characters). request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.AcceptEncoding, "gzip,deflate"); request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate; – Hassan Rahman Jul 23 '23 at 20:28
