Describe the bug
Under .Net Framework 4.8 and after the upgrade from RestSharp v106 to v114 and in a multi-threaded environment, we experience on rare occasions hangs of web requests through RestSahrp
To Reproduce
We have extensively introduced more logging on our client using interceptors and introduced our own custom message handler.
Find below two consecutive requests, the first one completing correctly and the second one did not finish. After SendAsync returns the next message AfterHttpRequest would have been expected but never came.

Expected behavior
No hanging of requests and respecting of cancellation token
Stack trace
Probably here:
ExecuteAsync(request, ct)
└─ ExecuteRequestAsync (creates timeoutCts+linked ct)
└─ OnBeforeRequest / OnBeforeHttpRequest ✅ logged
└─ SendWithRedirectsAsync
└─ HttpClient.SendAsync(msg, ResponseContentRead, ct)
└─ CstMessageHandler.SendAsync ✅ logged ">> SendAsync"
└─ HttpClientHandler.SendAsync → returns after headers
← finally block ✅ logged "<< SendAsync returned"
← CstMessageHandler returns to HttpClient
← HttpClient now must buffer chunked body via:
content.LoadIntoBufferAsync(maxSize, ct) ← ** HANGS HERE **
CT not observed on .NET 4.8 legacy stack
← SendWithRedirectsAsync never returns
← OnAfterHttpRequest never called ❌ missing from log
← OnAfterRequest never called ❌ missing from log
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 10/11
- .NET FW 4.8
- Version 114
Additional context
Only seems to happen since we upgraded from v106, .Net FW 4.8 stayed the same.
