iOS Question Problem with job.ErrorMessage

Hello everyone,
I have a server running a service made with B4J and 2 apps (B4A and B4i) that connect with them.
In some case I need to answer with an error number and an error message from the service that I need to catch and use it in the apps
Let me show you the code, it's very easy:
[CODE lang="b4x" title="B4J Service"]Case "F"
resp.SendError(15,"355238")
Case "G"
resp.SendError(16,"974520")[/CODE]
And this is the code in B4A and B4i:
[CODE lang="b4x" title="B4i and B4A"] j.PostString(strServidor,"Data=" & EncryptText(MyJG.ToString))
wait for (j) JobDone (job As HttpJob)
If job.Success Then
...
Else
Select Case job.Response.StatusCode
Case 15
lblResultado.Text="something goes here " & job.ErrorMessage
Case 16
lblResultado.Text="something different goes here " & job.ErrorMessage
End Select
end if[/CODE]
In B4A works perfect, job.ErrorMessage receives "355238", "974520" or the number (string in fact) that I send from B4J, but in B4i it does not receive the job.ErrorMessage, only the Status code.
How can I receive in B4i the ErrorMessage?

@Erel told me that I shouldn't expect it to work because I'm using non-standard status codes... but it works fines and smoothly on B4A, why it does not work in B4i?

I also read a lot of posts about this problem but did not find any solution, in fact in a post made in 2020 it says "next B4i release will have this fixed" or something like that ... but I guess is not solved

Any helps will be highly appreciated

Many Thanks
 
Why don't you reply to the request with a JSON derived from a map with all the values you want?

The underlying implementation is completely different. As I wrote, you shouldn't use non-standard status codes if you want your program to work reliably.
Status codes: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status

You are guessing wrong. The issue was fixed. It might be a different issue then the one you encounter here.
