`TE: trailers` isn't a terribly useful signal for fetch to generate, because it doesn't tell the server whether individual headers are going to be actually processed (e.g., `ETag` and `Last-Modified` for a cache). What it does help with is determining whether an entire *path* is compatible with trailers; i.e., whether or not there's a HTTP/1.0 hop. So it make sense for intermediaries to generate it when the downstream path is trailer-safe, *or* the intermediary buffers responses and sticks them into headers. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
