Is it possible to download files via WebClient API while the app is in background on mobile platforms?

Question

I need to use WebClient for I could not figure out how to do HTTPS downloads including certificate verification with the WWW API.

Without any further ado, the app may be in the middle of interpreting a stream when the app pauses.

On Windows Phone definitely needs a permission and on iOS I guess too. On Android nearly everything allowed.
