We don't have direct access to the body stream, so there is no body property. There are some methods that are not useful in Node.js, like formData(), redirect(), etc. Some other methods are not very cross-browser compatible, so they are less common to use.
Missing:
- body

A small difference is that our .clone()` method is async.
