I have a page performing a web service using SOAP (sorry if my terminology is redundant). Everything works great until I attempt to return a SOAP fault response with a http status code. If I return the SOAP xml document indicating the fault, works great. If I simply add <cfheader statuscode="500" statustext="You broke it." />, I end up with my SOAP xml document prepended with html displaying user text of the 500 error:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<title>500 - Internal server error.</title>

Starting with the "<?xml..." is the text I output. All the stuff prior to that either IIS or ColdFusion generously prepended for me. How do I stop the madness? I'm using IIS 7.5 and CF 9.0.2.
