Unhandled Exception: SocketException flutter

Question

The goal is to get website from email. I want to catch Socket Exceptions in a try Catch statement, but the following error wasn't caught and no print statement.

[VERBOSE-2:ui_dart_state.cc(177)] Unhandled Exception: SocketException: Failed host lookup: 'subdomain.domain.com' (OS Error: nodename nor servname provided, or not known, errno = 8).

Following the flutter documentation here and here

here is my code.

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

Future<void> getWebsite(email) async {
    try {
      // get domain from email
      String _dom = new RegExp(r"(?<=[@]).+").stringMatch(email);
      // Get response status code from url
      final response = await http.get("https://$_dom");
      // Set Domain
      response.statusCode == 200 ? setDomain("https://$_dom") : setDomain(null);
    } on SocketException catch (_) {
      print("socket error");
    } on HttpException catch (_) {
      print("http error");
    } on FormatException catch (_) {
      print("format exception");
    } catch (e) {
      print("any exception");
    }
}

Here is the result of flutter doctor -v
