Custom error page based on sub-status?

An academic question right now, but my curiosity has been piqued.

Is there any way to capture the HTTP sub-code, if any, when writing a custom error page? The customErrors block in web.config allows only for integer status, so I cannot distinguish between, say, 403.4 and 403.14. And I haven't been able to find an exception with this information that I could intercept in Application_Error. Specifically, I would like to redirect all 403 errors to a single page and have that one page describe the specific "Access Denied" error.

Is this possible?

This should do it:

C#
