Retrieving cookies from HttpWebResponse despite 404

[Mr Flibble]

Hey!

I get a 404 from a website (this is "correct behaviour") and I'm
interested in the value in the cookie "SMSESSION" .

The question is the following code generates an exception due to the
404. How am I still able to read the cookies even though I get an
exception?

Here's the code:

HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebRespons e)webRequest.Ge tResponse();

if (webResponse.Co okies != null && webResponse.Coo kies.Count != 0)
{
foreach (Cookie c in webResponse.Coo kies)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("\t" + c.ToString());
}
}

Mr Fibble,

You can catch the exception, then check the Response property on the
exception. It can be cast to HttpWebResponse , and then you can access the
cookies from there.

Hope this helps.
