Invoke-WebRequest claims it is "writing request stream (number of bytes written X)" when downloading

[AArnott]

Steps to reproduce

Invoke-WebRequest https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe -outfile $env:temp\nuget.exe

Expected behavior

The PowerShell progress dialog suggests we are reading bytes from the response stream.

Actual behavior

The PowerShell progress dialog claims it is "Writing request stream (number of bytes written X)"

@AArnott Thanks for your report!

I believe the message should depend on the Get/Post method.

[AArnott]

GET verbs have no request stream so response stream messages would always be appropriate.
But POST verbs have both a request and a response stream. So ideally the message shown would be appropriate for the stream that is currently being written or read from.

@SteveL-MSFT

Can we fix this by changing Resx strings to

Web request status
    Number of bytes processed: 99999
