c# - How to copy HttpContent async and cancelable?

I'm using HttpClient.PostAsync() and the response is an HttpResponseMessage. Its Content property is of type HttpContent which has a CopyToAsync() method. Unfortunately, this is not cancelable. Is there a way to get the response copied into a Stream and pass a CancellationToken?

I am not stuck with CopyToAsync()! If there is a workaround, that would be fine. Like read a couple of bytes, check if canceled, continue reading and so on.

The HttpContent.CreateContentReadStreamAsync() methods looks like it would be a candidate. Unfortunately, it's not available with my selected profile. Also unclear if it would read all data in one go and waste a lot of memory.

Note: I'm using this inside a PCL targeting WP8, Windows Store 8, .NET 4.5, Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android

I believe this should work:

public static async Task DownloadToStreamAsync(string uri, HttpContent data, Stream target, CancellationToken token)
{
    using (var client = new HttpClient())
    using (var response = await client.PostAsync(uri, data, token))
    using (var stream = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync())
    {
        await stream.CopyToAsync(target, 4096, token);
    }
}

Note that ReadAsStreamAsync calls CreateContentReadStreamAsync, which for stream responses just returns the underlying content stream without buffering it into memory.
