Help, how to surpress an exception?

[Tarun Mistry]

hi everyone, I am using HttpWebRequest and Response todo some manual message
passing (using SOAP).

However, when a SOAP fault occurs, my server must report a 500 error, which
is fine, however this causes a webException on the client, which prevents me
getting the SOAP message out of the response.

Is there any way to prevent this WebException being thrown, as it prevents
downloading of the SOAP fault message (which is fine).

As for why the 500 is thrown, this is part of the SOAP specification.

Thanks to everyone,
With kind regards
Taz
