We allow you to do this in Snap but you have to explicitly ask for it. An
example application here would be streaming transcoding. The client has to
be written with this in mind in order for this to work (if it's not reading
the response while it's streaming the request body, eventually its write()s
will block), so this is a feature that only really makes sense for API
servers.
