Should check NULL return on CHttpConnection::OpenRequest() and CInternetSession::GetHttpConnection()

Question

Hi
Should check NULL return on CHttpConnection::OpenRequest() and CInternetSession::GetHttpConnection()?! because these functions throw an exception on fail and I have to use try-catch block.

try
{
pConnection = pSession->GetHttpConnection(...);
}
catch (CInternetException* e)
{
e->Delete();
        return;
}

if (pConnection) // can remove this if; is it safe?
{
}

thanks

They're not documented to return NULL, so the check should be pointless.
