HttpResponseMessage Send & Receive List or Array of <T> - .net-core

Question

With the latest System.Net.Http.Json there are some methods that help with serializing / deserializing. I want to use the HttpResponseMessage Content hold my response Objects. They seem to store fine on the server but when I get them on the client side the Content is not what I was expecting. There is a lot of additional data injected and I am lost on how I can pass some data with additional meta data.
I am not sure what is going on.. If I try to use:
Content = new StringContent("test content")
on the client side I get "test content" but I get this:
Content:
{"version":"1.1","content":{"headers":[{"key":"Content-Type","value":["text/plain; charset=utf-8"]}]},"statusCode":200,"reasonPhrase":"Retrieved
Forecasts","headers":[],"trailingHeaders":[],"requestMessage":null,"isSuccessStatusCode":true}
Here is my Blazor code:
Client:
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
try
{
//forecasts = await Http.GetFromJsonAsync<WeatherForecast[]>("WeatherForecast");
HttpResponseMessage httpResponse = await Http.GetAsync("WeatherForecast");
if (httpResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
Console.WriteLine("Response Weather");
//forecasts = (await httpResponse.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<WeatherForecast[]>()).ToList<WeatherForecast>();
Console.WriteLine("Content: " + await httpResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
//forecasts = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<WeatherForecast[]>(await httpResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync()).ToList<WeatherForecast>(); // Doesn't work
forecasts = await httpResponse.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<WeatherForecast[]>(); //Doesn't work
}
}
catch (AccessTokenNotAvailableException exception)
{
exception.Redirect();
}
}
Server:
[HttpGet]
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Get()
{
var rng = new Random();
WeatherForecast[] weather = Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(index => new WeatherForecast
{
Date = DateTime.Now.AddDays(index),
TemperatureC = rng.Next(-20, 55),
Summary = Summaries[rng.Next(Summaries.Length)]
})
.ToArray();
HttpResponseMessage message = new HttpResponseMessage
{
StatusCode = OK,
ReasonPhrase = "Retrieved Weather",
//Content = new StringContent("test content")
//Content = JsonContent.Create<WeatherForecast[]>(weather)
//Content = new StringContent(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(weather))
};
string test = await message.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); // This looks correct!
return message;
}
