How do I get the content of the internal server (500) error?

I want to get the content of the 500 error: neither appears to let me do so, exceptions are thrown:

using(var wc = new WebClient()){
    wc.DownloadString(address).Dump();
}
using(var wc = new HttpClient())
{
    var result = await wc.GetStringAsync(address);
    result.Dump();
}

and yes address is a valid address "http://foo.azurewebsites.net/Account/Login" and I have tried them each individually.

How do I read the content/response of the 500 error from the asp.net site?

This shows the rest of the details of how you might read the Response property usr referred to

void Main()
{
    try
    {           
        using(var wc = new WebClient()){
            wc.DownloadString(Util.ReadLine("sitename?")).Dump("success");
        }
    }
    catch (WebException ex)
    {
        string response;
        using(var stream=ex.Response.GetResponseStream())
        using(var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
        {
            response=sr.ReadToEnd();
        }
        response.Dump("error");
    }

}

A WebException has a Response property. It works like any other response. You can read its contents and the exact status code.
