Does an HttpClient await the Header and the body?
Read OriginalThis technical article investigates whether awaiting an HttpClient.GetAsync call waits for only the HTTP response headers or the entire body. Using a C#/.NET example with a chunked server response, it demonstrates that the default await waits for the complete body. It then shows how to use HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead to await only the headers for performance, while still allowing optional body reading, and discusses the resource management implications.
