Return "error" object received from server in the Google API V3 .NET Client Exception object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Target platform (e.g. Windows, Mono, Silverlight, WP7, All)?
       Google API V3 .NET Client

Feature Request:
Return the "error" object sent from the server in the Exception class object to 
allow programs using Google API V3 .NET Client to recognize and act on the 
actual error reason returned from the server rather then just generic errors 
like "Bad Request". Also makes it easier for the software developer to 
recognize the root cause of a "bug".

{

  "errors": [

    "locationType": "other",
    "location": "body.snippet.categoryId"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Bad Request"

I am having the same problem. The following c# code produces this problem:

var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer
{
    HttpClientInitializer = new UserCredential
    (
        new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow
        (
            new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Initializer
            {
                ClientSecrets = new ClientSecrets
                {
                    ClientId = "ClientId",
                    ClientSecret = "ClientSecret"
                }
            }
        ),
        "user",
        new TokenResponse
        {
            RefreshToken = "RefreshToken"
        }
    ),
    ApplicationName = "ApplicationName"
});

var videoData = File.OpenRead(@"VideoPath");

var request = youtubeService.Videos.Insert(new Video
{
    Snippet = new VideoSnippet
    {
        Title = "Title",
        Description = "Description"
    },
    Status = new VideoStatus
    {
        PrivacyStatus = "PrivacyStatus"
    }
},
"snippet,status", videoData, "video/mp4");

request.ResponseReceived += results => Console.WriteLine(results);

var response = await request.UploadAsync();

Console.WriteLine(response.Exception);

The value for response.Exception is:

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: baseUri

And the value for $exception is:

{"Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad 
Request)."} System.Exception {System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException}

And Fiddler shows:

  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "youtube.video",
    "reason": "invalidTitle",

    "locationType": "other",
    "location": "body.snippet.title"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Bad Request"
 }
}

I would like to access to this error information so that I can display error 
messages that make sense.
