How Does Burp Handle Responses?

fenceposterror | Last updated: Aug 06, 2015 08:24AM UTC

Hi, I hope this is not a duplicate question, but I couldn't find the response to it. I wonder if it is worth checking if the response I'm analyzing for the PDF Metadata Extension is actually a PDF file before reading the response. Does Burp read the whole answer with response = self._requestResponse.getResponse() already? If yes, is the impact on resources high enough that it is worth checking as well as possible the request if it is likely that the response is a pdf?
