[JENKINS-69833] Errors are not being written to the outputFile

I am purposely inputting a bad URL and trying to capture the error that ensues. However, the outputFile that I specified is not being updated.

script {

     response = httpRequest (

  ignoreSslErrors: true, 

  url: 'badURLGoesHere',

  outputFile: 'repwebResults.xml',

   validResponseCodes: '100:500'

       ) 

}
