This proposed enhancement would be very useful to allow extensions to support alternative and experimental protocols, including anonymizing networks such as Tor, decentralized web protocols such as ipfs, and dat, and decentralized naming protocols such as .bit (Namecoin). For these applications, the ability to stream a dynamically-generated response would be critical.

This proposed enhancement would be very useful to allow extensions to support alternative and experimental protocols, including anonymizing networks such as Tor, decentralized web protocols such as ipfs, and dat, and decentralized naming protocols such as .bit (Namecoin). For these applications, the ability to stream a dynamically-generated response would be critical. Also it would be good to be able to suppress DNS/OCSP requests associated wtih HTTP requests that are being overridden. In other words, effectively a dynamic "proxy".
