Can't add custom HttpException class as a Logger exception

[uaoleg]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• Extend base HttpException, e.g. AllowedOnlyForAdminsHttpException
• Add AllowedOnlyForAdminsHttpException to the list of except for Logger

What is the expected result?

All AllowedOnlyForAdminsHttpException exceptions are skipped

What do you get instead?

AllowedOnlyForAdminsHttpException exceptions are still logged

Additional info

Q	A
Yii version	2.0.15

This logic is implemented in yii\base\ErrorHandler::logException() method:
https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/base/ErrorHandler.php#L288

@uaoleg, this behavior is actually mentioned in the documentation https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/runtime-logging

Info: When an HTTP exception is caught by the error handler, an error message will be logged with the category name in the format of yii\web\HttpException:ErrorCode. For example, the yii\web\NotFoundHttpException will cause an error message of category yii\web\HttpException:404.

For some reason, it was decided to set a category of the log message for http exceptions in this format.

You can extend your own exception class from UserException not HttpException and it will be ignored.
