Limit HttpResponseMessage.Content data (ReadAsStringAsync) to specific maximum size

Question

I'm using the following:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage message = await client.GetAsync(myUrl);
String content = await message.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

Is there a way to limit how much is downloaded via the HttpResponseMessage.Content? If I don't trust the URL, and the URL actually feeds back 100 GB, then this could spell trouble... I'd basically like to limit this to a configurable number of bytes - and if there's more, I don't want it! :) Thanks!
