HttpClient does not return Content-Type

I'm sending a request with HttpClient. Server returns two headers which I want return to client. I run it like this:

 using (var client = new HttpClient())
 {
     var response = await client.GetAsync(DownloadUri + $"?path={path}&fileName={fileName}");
     // ...
 }

But on client side I have 10 headers, while server sends 12. This is what I get in debugger for response.Headers.ToString():

Transfer-Encoding: chunked
X-SourceFiles: =?UTF-8?B?QzpcVXNlcnNcQWxleFxEb2N1bWVudHNcdGZzXFVDRktcdnNuXGRldlxMYW5pdC5VQ0ZLLkZpbGUuU2VydmVyXEZpbGUuc3ZjXERvd25sb2Fk?=
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Cache-Control: private

Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

And this is what I get with external Rest client: enter image description here

Content-Type and Content-Disposition are missing. How can I get it with HttpClient?

  HttpResponseMessage response = await client.SendAsync(request);
  String sContentType = response.Content.Headers.ContentType.MediaType;
  Console.WriteLine($"Response ContentType: {sContentType}");
  //
  // Response ContentType: application/json

Content_type is part of the Content Headers. So you should use:

response.Content.Headers;

You should look at response.Content.Headers you should find headers relating to the content here. More information about all the content header types can be found on the msdn link below.
