The downside to cancelling the request is that it makes it impossible to
re-use the connection.

This callback is useful when the data is too large to be held in memory
(so the callback writes it to a file) or when only some information should
be extracted, or when the body should be processed incrementally.

It is usually preferred over doing your own body handling via
C<want_body_handle>, but in case of streaming APIs, where HTTP is
only used to create a connection, C<want_body_handle> is the better
alternative, as it allows you to install your own event handler, reducing
resource usage.

downloading the body (if any), the completion callback will be
called. Instead of the C<$body> argument containing the body data, the
