Support Request / Response progress

[acidjazz]

I know fetch itself didn't have it for a while, last I recall it was coming in 2020 with some command like

allowHTTP1ForStreamingUpload

Do we have any recommendations on what people might want to use for nuxt3?

It seems this should now be possible with Chromium versions > 105. It would be cool if it could be integrated into ofetch!

Here's an example implementation: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52860605/19510854

I appreciate the responses and solutions and understand it is a common requirement in frontend applications to track request/response progress when making HTTP calls but please do not respond with repetitive responses, it is an open issue.

ofetch is based on fetch API that is natively supported in both modern servers and browser runtimes but sadly, the standard spec does not allow tracking requests and responses (it is not a limitation of ofetch.)

There are currently two solutions:

• Using an alternative method for making HTTP requests (XHR in browsers / HTTP module in node)
  • You can use axios (progresss capturing) but consider it is a legacy approach and has edge-cases.
• Using native fetch and wrapper around request and response streams as proposed in feat: add support for Request / Response progress #277 ( request streaming is not possible in all browsers/http servers).
