Good news! We have a fix, and it will be part of the next windows. If you’re on an insider build, you should already have the fix as of mid-September.

Since the UserVoice is no longer being used and I can’t see any issue related to this in https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-uwp/issues https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FMicrosoftDocs%2Fwindows-uwp%2Fissues&data=02|01|pesmith%40microsoft.com|2b9392e864ef441ec5e108d76c150871|72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47|1|0|637096709901282016&sdata=D6iA4b9vK5QS2y%2Bvi%2FZiLsy8l9%2B59GaI3oVg%2FdBw5Kc%3D&reserved=0 I was wondering if this has been addressed? I’m still seeing TotalBytesToReceive being 0 despite the content-length header being set on the server (double-checked using Postman). Should I be opening a new issue in the windows-uwp repo?
