Since M43, readable streams can be obtained (only) from the body attribute of the Response. Developers can now construct their own ReadableStream instances (http://crbug.com/503491), and use one for constructing a Response and serve it from a ServiceWorker. This feature had been available behind a flag since M49. A *Request* cannot yet be constructed with a ReadableStream as a body (for streaming uploads).
