Remarks
Caution
WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.
Before you can set the TransferEncoding property, you must first set the SendChunked property to true. Clearing TransferEncoding by setting it to null has no effect on the value of SendChunked.
Values assigned to the TransferEncoding property replace any existing contents.
Note
The value for this property is stored in WebHeaderCollection. If WebHeaderCollection is set, the property value is lost.
