Re: [whatwg] Questions about the Fetch API

> I agree that Node's design sounds a bit better for piping. But where would you put the FetchResponseBodyStream? fetch() returns a promise for a Response. Why would the response have a writable stream for the request? There are two options:

3- have fetch() take a writable stream as a parameter, e.g.

var request = new Request("http://example.com", { method: "POST" });
myReadableStream.pipeTo(request.body);
fetch(request);

(this is not great ergonomically, but seems to be the direction the current API points to...)
