+// NOTE(augustoccesar)[2026-03-19]: The reason to build this manually instead of using the TryFrom for
+//  the worker::Request is because of how body is constructed.
+//  We were seeing body for DELETE requests not being proxied correctly. Because of that we are now
+//  doing the reconstruct manually to ensure the body is present.
+//
+//  This is not ideal and would be great to keep trusting the `to_wasm` from the workers-rs,
+//  but for now this solves our issue.
+//  Main concern here is if we might be missing some of the other internal operations that are
+//  done during the conversion. But for our usecases, it seems to be working.
