I think you're misundertanding. That method is already implemented in
HttpWorkerRequest.cs. It just returns null. That's the implementation.
You can easilly test that is the behavior that MS NET has in that method
of HttpWorkerRequest class. How? Derive your own class from
HttpWorkerRequest and call GetPreloadedEntityBody(). You'll always get
null.

Moreover, you have HasEntityBody() and IsEntireEntityBodyIsPreloaded()
to know in advance if GetPreloadedEntityBody() can be null.
