How to completely disable response body (ResponseStatus) for uncaught exceptions in ServiceStack, but keep StatusCode

Information of what I have and what I am trying to achieve

I am using ServiceStack and have it up and running for what I need, however I am unable to find out how to disable the Body/Content for uncaught exceptions.

I have ServiceStack handling ALL routes.

If I navigate to a route which is not mapped to ServiceStack, I get a StatusCode of 404 (perfect) and content in the Body of the response of "Handler for Request not found: ...."

If my code throws an uncaught exception, ServiceStack will kindly return a relevant StatusCode, however it also returns a ResponseStatus with ErrorCode and Message populated.

I have DebugMode turned off, this disables the StackTrace, however I want to completely mute the entire Body of the response for exceptions.

What I have tried

I have tried a Response Filter of the following:

ResponseFilters.Add((req, res, dto)) =>
{
    if (dto is Exception) res.Close();
});

it unfortunately did not work.

What I want to avoid

try{
    return service.GetResponse();
} catch (Exception) {
    return new HttpResult(.....);
}

My Question

How do I disable the response body for all uncaught exceptions, but still return the StatusCode? I would like null returned in the body, and StatusCodes to remain in tact.

I've tried to make my question clear, but if I have been a bit vague in any way, please ask me questions.

You should be able to override the default exception handling behavior by overriding HandleException of ServiceBase.

You can inspect the default implementation here: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/blob/master/src/ServiceStack.ServiceInterface/ServiceBase.cs#L228.
