Description
Description
When trying to read the response from Fetch as a stream, via getReader(), I get an error saying that resp.body is undefined. Logging the value of resp shows this:
{"_bodyBlob": {"_data": {"__collector": [Object], "blobId": "xxx", "name": "chat.txt", "offset": 0, "size": 42, "type": "text/plain"}}, "_bodyInit": {"_data": {"__collector": [Object], "blobId": "xxx", "name": "chat.txt", "offset": 0, "size": 42, "type": "text/plain"}}, "bodyUsed": false, "headers": {"map": {"cache-control": "no-store", "content-length": "42", "content-type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8", "date": "Sun, 21 May 2023 18:53:09 GMT", "expect-ct": "max-age=2592000, report-uri=\"https://sentry.repl.it/api/10/security/?sentry_key=xxx\"", "replit-cluster": "hacker", "strict-transport-security": "max-age=6123043; includeSubDomains", "uwebsockets": "20"}}, "ok": true, "status": 200, "statusText": "", "type": "default", "url": "https://xxx.luisafk.repl.co/chat"}
