### Remarks

Setting this property to `null` indicates that this [UnityWebRequest](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/networking/unitywebrequest.md) does not care about the response’s body data; all received body data will be ignored and discarded. See the reference on [DownloadHandler](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/networking/downloadhandler.md) objects for more information on creating and using DownloadHandlers.

This property cannot be changed after calling [UnityWebRequest.Send](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/networking/unitywebrequest/send.md).

*Default value:* `null`.
