Here's an odd heads up for you. I've come across an IIS server which doesn't like:

// Note the server interrupts at this point without waiting for the rest of the request
<Content-HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error

But likes:

<200 OK ...
It appears that unless the Host header is the first header provided, the server returns a 500 response. No idea why or how they get IIS to do that, but I'll be creating a patch to add the Host header first for our use so if people would like it for HttpClient I can send it through.
And in case I haven't mentioned it before - I hate non-compliant servers....
