Proposal for opt-in streaming HTTP client responses via
x-urbit-streamrequest header.When a request includes an
x-urbit-streamheader, the runtime delivers response headers and body chunks incrementally as%start/%continueevents instead of buffering the entire response into a single%finishedevent. On connection failure, streaming requests receive%cancelinstead of a fabricated 504.No Hoon-side type changes required — the
%start,%continue, and%cancelvariants ofhttp-eventalready exist. The runtime simply uses them in a new delivery sequence.Reference implementation: urbit/vere#976.
