Remarks

A null stream means no content was found. Note content (if any) for redirect responses is ignored. This method returns null if content size is more than 123MB. If msWebView2EnableDownloadContentInWebResourceResponseReceived feature flag is disabled, for navigations that become downloads or if response is downloadable content type (e.g., application/octet-stream), this method also returns null. See DownloadStarting event to handle the response or enable the feature flag. The Stream object that is returned will be thread-safe and as reads will be blocking while waiting for data to be available, it is recommended to read from a background thread. If this method is being called again before a first call has completed, it will complete at the same time all prior calls do. If this method is being called after a first call has completed, it will return immediately (asynchronously).
