Description

See https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/3766#discussion_r2562947160 .

It's unfortunate that all of our methods on Body (e.g. into_string, into_bytes, into_string_lossy) take self owned, meaning you can't effectively pull data out of the http::Request<Body> without calling either into_parts or into_body. We should revise some or all of these methods to take &self receivers, or add new methods which take &self receivers additionally.

Research direction

Start with the Body convenience methods mentioned in the issue, including into_string, into_bytes, and into_string_lossy, and read the linked pull request discussion. Determine which methods should borrow or whether additional borrowed methods are needed; done means the API supports reading from http::Request<Body> without consuming it.
