+Summary: HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream() Exception when ContentLength == 0 [TEST CASE ATTACHED]
+
+Some web servers can be misconfigured to not send Content-Length even when their is content, 
+as a result HttpWebResponse.ContentLength == 0; however in certain cases we need to still get 
+the stream and check for content.
+
+Calling HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream on a 0 byte file causes a Unhandled Exception:
+System.ArgumentException: Cannot read stream
+in <0x00124> System.IO.StreamReader:Initialize 
+(System.IO.Stream,System.Text.Encoding,bool,int)
+
+This is inconsistent with the behaviour on the MS runtime.
+
+Expected results:
+
+Return an empty stream.
