Try catch and redirect after soap error

Hi
I’m trying redirect to homepage after I get a SoapFault error in try/catch method

$client = new SoapClient(...);
try 
{
  $response = $client->listCertificate($params);
  return $response->return->userId;
} 
catch (SoapFault $fault) // Throwable has same problem
{ 
Flash::warning('Login failed', false);
// header('location:' . Director::BaseURL()); // works but no Flash message
$this->redirect(Director::BaseURL());  // doesn't work
return false;
}

If I use header('Location: ' . Director::BaseURL()); it redirects, but I don’t get the Flash message.
If I use $this->redirect(Director::BaseURL()); the redirect doesn’t work and the code keeps executing.
Any idea what am I doing wrong and how to fix this?

I solved it with:

header('location:' . Director::BaseURL() . '?error=myerror');
exit(0)

and then handled the Flash message in PageController
