Possibly allow LoadFromWebAsync to accept Cancellation Tokens
Hi,
What are you guys' thoughts on adding a cancellation token source to the LoadFromWebAsync method? I've ran across an issue where some urls take upwards to 90 secs to load in decent networking conditions and would like a way to cancel the task when that occurs. Thanks.
Here's an exampl url:

Hello @hvining ,
Thank you for reporting. This issue will be fixed this week.
Best Regards,

Thanks @JonathanMagnan.
After some digging, it seems the issue with the long load times were coming from the type of HttpClient that is being used. I'm building against UWP and the HttpClient being used is from the System.Net.Http namespace however when I use the Windows.Web.Http namespace (via an extension method of HtmlWeb) it works as expected. Hope that helps any.
Hello @hvining ,
CancellationToken has been added to LoadFromWebAsync .
We will let this issue open to investigating more about System.Net.Http vs. Windows.Web.Http when time will permit.
Best Regards,
Jonathan
