With dispatcher hooks do you refer to interceptors?

It's methods on Dispatcher, i.e. onHeaders etc...

[ronag]

Some of the above we can probably land on main.

This seems interesting, in theory, the HTTP response is split into three parts, the status line, headers and body; maybe we can follow this line?
See potential use cases, specially around stop request processing if the status is not the one expected

it's actually headers first, then status and then body.

I'm working on the dump to interceptor, but I'm curious what do you have in mind for that API?

Also removing the legacy interceptor concepts from next, but is out of sync, should I open aim the branch anyways in this state?

I will sort the next branch sometime in the next two weeks. Just open or against current state.

.compose(interceptors.dump({ maxSize: 1024 * 1024 }))

Something like that?

It is also necessary to move the decompression of compressed data (gzip, deflate, br, zstd) into a separate interceptor
