var response = await request.send()

Answer 1

I checked the docs for request.send I returns Future instead of Future

Digging more for StreamedResponse I found that it response.stream which is a ByteStream

Here is what you can do to get response in String

final response = await request.send();
final respStr = await response.stream.bytesToString();

In my opinoin you should only use request.send if you want streamed response instead of "collected" response. More about streams in dart here
