We could/should use the standard go API to do this. We have a wrapping handler https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#MaxBytesHandler or a reader https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#MaxBytesReader

Not sure those apply? They are for servers handling reqs, not clients handling responses.

@guseggert shall we limit at the server level too?

Yeah, you are right, for me it is strange that there is no standard way to do this on the client side, having helpers on the server side.

Yeah we could, I was focused purely on client here since that is what we are imminently shipping, mind if I follow-up with this in a separate commit?
