ASP .NET Web API throw new HttpResponseException always returns 500

I´m trying to do this

throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized); // 401

But this always returns 500(Internal server Error).

Example code:

using System.Net;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.Web.Http;


namespace Gral_WebAPI.Controllers
{
    [Produces("application/json")]
    public class LoginController : ApiController
    {
        [Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.HttpGet]
        [Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Route("[action]")]
        public string GitTest()
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized); // 401
        }
    }
}

Anyone could help me?

You could use return StatusCode(401); instead. You should avoid using exceptions to control the flow of your application.

Do you have any middleware that's intercepting the exception and overriding the status code to 500?
