Description

Hi,
as per documentation benthos, even if I put a processor sync_response, waits for ack from output. I would like to achieve an early response (with sync_response), without waiting for output ack, like fire and forget, this way the client calling the http_server does not need to wait for output processing.

Research direction

Start by reading the http_server and sync_response documentation and locating their implementation entry points. Trace how the HTTP response currently relates to output acknowledgement, then define and verify the fire-and-forget behavior requested here, including what happens when output processing fails.
