title: C# Get content type of a response without loading entire content
body: <p>I want to make sure from those who know if the following lines of code will only get the response type of the request without loading the full content, because i have to to some conditions over response type in my application and i dont want to waste time for that resources that should be ignored.</p>
  
  <pre><code>request = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
  response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
  var responseType = response.ContentType;
  </code></pre>
