How to stream large http response to disk reliably

I'm using OTP-22.1 and noticed `httpc:request(get, {URL, []}, [], [{stream,
FilePath}])` returns `{ok, saved_to_file}` even when the remote web-service
dies midway while streaming the response. I checked the content on the disk
was missing a whole bunch of data. Is this a known quirk and expected?
