    I've opened #1119 with the HTTP/1.1 / response body / max_body / redirect changes from this RFC. CI is green on my side (mock tests, package build, ruff, codespell). I also ran the tests on unix and on an ESP32 with real HTTP over WiFi.

    Whenever someone has time to look, I'd appreciate a review. Happy to adjust anything that doesn't fit how you want requests to evolve here.
