Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the message body is suppressed; otherwise, false. The default is false.

This property is used for empty message requests: for example, a service that accepts a GET request without a message body. In this case, when building the HttpRequestMessageProperty object for the response message, set the SuppressEntityBody property to true.

When interoperating with non-WCF services, it is important to note that certain verbs are expected to contain a message body according to the HTTP standard; these include PUT and POST. Other verbs are expected to suppress the message body; these include GET and HEAD.
