This is the default `requestHandler` used for browser applications.
Since Node.js introduced experimental Web Streams API in v16.5.0 and made it stable in v21.0.0,
you can consider using `fetch-http-handler` in Node.js, although it's not recommended.

For the Node.js default `requestHandler` implementation, see instead
[`@smithy/node-http-handler`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@smithy/node-http-handler).
