Yes, that makes sense. At least if the server starts generating the
response before it has read the request body completely. But I'm afraid
that currently HttpClient is not going to check for the response until
it is finished with sending the request.
The asynchronous communication for 4.0 would make such an approach
possible, but we've only just started working on it. I can't see a
solution for your problem coming anytime soon. I'll remember your
scenario as a use case to consider, if that is a consolation to you :-)

sorry,
  Roland
