+a|Emitted before starting deserialization and decompression. If you want to measure this phase duration, you should measure the time elapsed between this event and `response`. This event might not be emitted in certain situations, like: when `asStream` is set to true; a response is terminated early due to content length being too large; or a response is terminated early by an `AbortController`.
