I would like to add support for HTTP trailers.
This is already supported in the h11 library so adding this is fairly easy.
I wrote a POC with tests
Uses for this in include returning hashes for validation, expire info, errors during stream, etc.
Here is the output (using my code) of a curl command getting streaming json where an error happens before all json is sent to the client
$ curl -v -N http://localhost:8000 --raw
* Trying 127.0.0.1:8000...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8000 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8000
> User-Agent: curl/7.79.1
> Accept: */*
>
* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
