How to track progress when using System.Net.HttpClient for upload?

Question

I'm using System.Net.HttpClient to do all the communication with a restful API in my iOS, Android and WP8 project.

One thing I am really missing: how to track progress when async uploading (posting) data to a server?

Any ideas? There are no events, callbacks or whatever in HttpClient that might be helpful to implement progress tracking.

One might think this is a standard requirement for all the mobile apps out there.

This is a *very* good hint! The message handler is the key! – Krumelur Jan 15 '14 at 19:07
