✅ Streaming From REST API?

I'm building an SDK to interface with a REST API, and for one of then endpoints you can supply a boolean to specify if you want streaming or not. In particular, it mentions:

//  Default: false
// Whether to stream back partial progress. If set, tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message. Otherwise, the server will hold the request open until the timeout or until completion, with the response containing the full result as JSON.

I'm just wondering, do I use HTTPClient for this? Or is there another way to handle streams?

client.GetStreamAsync() perhaps?

Say this is for a chat and I want to pass a ChatRequest object, would I open the stream first and then pass it?

If it's for a chat, you should be using a real-time protocol Far as what to do with that request...? Well, it is a stream. So sure, you can read it to the end and forward it
