It sucks that this changes the behaviour under the hood that you previously coukd rely on the fact that closing the response body lets you skip downloading the HTTP body entirely, but I do like the tradeoff here, since it also limits the download time to just 50ms you'd not get overwhelmed if your network can't keep up with all the cancelled HTTP bodies, you'll just wait a little bit of traffic instead.
