In httr2: Perform HTTP Requests and Process the Responses

#' Perform a request and return a streaming connection
#'
#' @description
#' Use `req_perform_connection()` to perform a request if you want to stream the
#' response body. A response returned by `req_perform_connection()` includes a
#' connection as the body. You can then use [resp_stream_raw()],
#' [resp_stream_lines()], or [resp_stream_sse()] to retrieve data a chunk at a
#' time. Always finish up by closing the connection by calling
#' `close(response)`.
#'
#' This is an alternative interface to [req_perform_stream()] that returns a
#' [connection][base::connections] that you can use to pull the data, rather
#' than providing callbacks that the data is pushed to. This is useful if you
#' want to do other work in between handling inputs from the stream.
#'
#' @inheritParams req_perform
#' @param blocking When retrieving data, should the connection block and wait
#'   for the desired information or immediately return what it has (possibly
#'   nothing)?
#' @param verbosity How much information to print? This is a wrapper
#'   around [req_verbose()] that uses an integer to control verbosity:
#'
#'   * `0`: no output
#'   * `1`: show headers
#'   * `2`: show headers and bodies as they're streamed
#'   * `3`: show headers, bodies, curl status messages, raw SSEs, and stream
#'     buffer management
#'
#'   Use [with_verbosity()] to control the verbosity of requests that
#'   you can't affect directly.
