-
-      ## <tt>REQUEST_METHOD</tt>:: The HTTP request method, such as
-      ##                           "GET" or "POST". This cannot ever
-      ##                           be an empty string, and so is
-      ##                           always required.
-
-      ## <tt>SCRIPT_NAME</tt>:: The initial portion of the request
-      ##                        URL's "path" that corresponds to the
-      ##                        application object, so that the

-      ##                        to the "root" of the server.
-
-      ## <tt>PATH_INFO</tt>:: The remainder of the request URL's
-      ##                      "path", designating the virtual
-      ##                      "location" of the request's target
-      ##                      within the application. This may be an
-      ##                      empty string, if the request URL targets

-      ##                      trailing slash. This value may be
-      ##                      percent-encoded when originating from
-      ##                      a URL.
-
-      ## <tt>QUERY_STRING</tt>:: The portion of the request URL that
-      ##                         follows the <tt>?</tt>, if any. May be
-      ##                         empty, but is always required!
-
-      ## <tt>SERVER_NAME</tt>:: When combined with <tt>SCRIPT_NAME</tt> and
-      ##                        <tt>PATH_INFO</tt>, these variables can be
-      ##                        used to complete the URL. Note, however,
-      ##                        that <tt>HTTP_HOST</tt>, if present,
-      ##                        should be used in preference to
-      ##                        <tt>SERVER_NAME</tt> for reconstructing
-      ##                        the request URL.
-      ##                        <tt>SERVER_NAME</tt> can never be an empty
-      ##                        string, and so is always required.
-
-      ## <tt>SERVER_PORT</tt>:: An optional +Integer+ which is the port the
-      ##                        server is running on. Should be specified if
-      ##                        the server is running on a non-standard port.
-
-      ## <tt>HTTP_</tt> Variables:: Variables corresponding to the
-      ##                            client-supplied HTTP request
-      ##                            headers (i.e., variables whose
-      ##                            names begin with <tt>HTTP_</tt>). The
-      ##                            presence or absence of these
-      ##                            variables should correspond with
-      ##                            the presence or absence of the
-      ##                            appropriate HTTP header in the
-      ##                            request. See

-      ##                         See Rack::VERSION, that corresponds to
-      ##                         the version of this SPEC.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.url_scheme</tt>:: +http+ or +https+, depending on the
-      ##                            request URL.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.input</tt>:: See below, the input stream.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.errors</tt>:: See below, the error stream.
-

-      ##                             in the same process, false otherwise.
-

-      ##                              may be simultaneously invoked by another
-      ##                              process, false otherwise.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.run_once</tt>:: true if the server expects

+      ## === The Body
+      ##
+      ## The Body is typically an +Array+ of +String+ values, an enumerable that yields +String+ values, a +Proc+, or an +IO+-like object.
+      ##
+      ## The Body must respond to +each+ or +call+. It may optionally respond to +to_path+ or +to_ary+. A Body that responds to +each+ is considered to be an Enumerable Body. A Body that responds to +call+ is considered to be a Streaming Body.
+      ##
+      ## A Body that responds to both +each+ and +call+ must be treated as an Enumerable Body, not a Streaming Body. If it responds to +each+, you must call +each+ and not +call+. If the Body doesn't respond to +each+, then you can assume it responds to +call+.
+      ##
+      ## The Body must either be consumed or returned. The Body is consumed by optionally calling either +each+ or +call+. Then, if the Body responds to +close+, it must be called to release any resources associated with the generation of the body. In other words, +close+ must always be called at least once; typically after the web server has sent the response to the client, but also in cases where the Rack application makes internal/virtual requests and discards the response.
+      def close
         ##
-        ## The special response header <tt>rack.hijack</tt> must only be set

-    ## * Middleware should not use hijack unless it is handling the whole

-    ## * Middleware may wrap the IO object for the response pattern.
-    ## * Middleware should not wrap the IO object for the request pattern. The
