Re: [whatwg/fetch] Streaming upload (Issue #1438)

I'd like to echo https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/pull/425#issuecomment-1122646961 . This feature is desperately needed for streaming media from a client to a server.

The alternatives like WebSockets etc. all need manual, custom code on both the client and server side, which makes interoperability practically impossible. That's more like FTP. The beauty of HTTP is its simplicity.

We can stream from server to client, in response bodies, so we should also be able to stream from client to server in request bodies. Like I can stream a video from server to client, I should be able to stream a video or audio from client to server. This avoids having to create custom protocols and servers and clients for streaming media.
