Read InputStream from an HttpUrlConnection with a 500

[shanesd]

I know that there is xml data that I need to get at eventhough I get a response code of 500. I get an IOException when I invoke getInputStream. Is there a way to get the data. Also I did try getErrorStream which just returns null.
Thank you.

HTTP code 500 is "internal server error" - so you will not be able to retrieve anything from the stream (apart from the http error message).

The docs state that getErrorStream() only returns a value if te server has filled this stream with something.
