Gateway.Send return null when service return httpresult

            try
            {
                var q = HostContext.ServiceController.Execute(loginDTo, Request);
                log.Debug(q);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
            }
            try
            {
                var q = Gateway.Send(loginDTo);
                log.Debug(q);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {

            }

I use above code in my service,
on my test, ServiceController.Execute will never throw exception and wrap inner exception into a httperror class instance,
Gateway.Send invoke ServiceController.Execute and wrap result by TResponse ConvertToResponse<TResponse>(object response)

so like code in AuthenticateService

            if (isHtml && request.provider != null)
            {
                if (alreadyAuthenticated)
                    return this.Redirect(referrerUrl.SetParam("s", "0"));

                if (!(response is IHttpResult) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(referrerUrl))
                {
                    return new HttpResult(response) {
                        Location = referrerUrl
                    };
                }
            }

``
it return HttpResult instance without Response prop and ConvertToResponse will return null,
so Gateway.Send return null and I don’t know what happened?

simply, ServiceController.Execute return a HttpResult instance without Response prop,
Gateway.Send return null when it invoke ConvertToResponse

That’s because if service returns HttpResult then Gateway.Send returns only HttpResult.Response property. In your case this property set to null that’s why you get null when call Gateway.Send

yes，Gateway.Send return null ,so I didn’t know what happened in the service(No exceptions, no success or failure) ,in my option, Users should be able to know what return really, just like redirect to a new URL or any thing other, but it is null now
