Hi, the WebSocket plugin throws a `WebSocketException` if the response code is not 101.
<https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/main/ktor-client/ktor-client-core/common/src/io/ktor/client/plugins/websocket/WebSockets.kt#L202>

Is there any way to somehow get the original response from the server?

The only way to get the response object when the `WebSocketException` is thrown is by intercepting the earlier phase of the response pipeline. Here is an example:
```val client = HttpClient(CIO) {
    install(WebSockets)
}

client.responsePipeline.intercept(HttpResponsePipeline.Parse) { (info, session) ->
    try {
        proceed()
    } catch (cause: WebSocketException) {
        println(context.response)
        throw cause
    }
}

client.webSocket("<ws://httpbin.org/status/404>") {}```

Thanks for the quick reply and solution <@U017TSBJ2C9>.

When I try to decode the response body using `context.response.body()`, it causes a stackoverflow, because of `client.responsePipeline.execute(this, subject).response.takeIf { it != NullBody }` being called inside.
Is there a way around it?

I ended up doing `context.response.rawContent.run { peek(availableForRead)?.decodeToString() }`, but since `rawContent` is an internal api, it'd be better to avoid it.

The only way I see is to access the `rawContent` .
