Is this going to be accompanied with a timeout parameter or abort signal? Otherwise, I'm concerned about the possibility of a malicious actor spamming an endpoint with large but extremely low data rate requests (think: a single minimum-size TCP packet once per second) and forcing it to run out of memory. Of course, [intermediate proxies can largely mitigate this](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/ddos-low-and-slow-attack/), but not every implementation can trust the source of their data, and this would be valuable for knocking out that vulnerability a bit easier. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
