XHR request not supported by stream-http getReader() of undefined

[marinav]

Bug report

What is the current behavior?

I need to send xhr requests to set up Cypress tests in my project, unfortunatly, even if the request succeed, i can't access data because of dependencies used by webpack: (node-libs-browser and stream-http). It triggers this error :

Cannot read property 'getReader' of undefined

because response.js file in stream-http package need a response.body and is empty.

I saw an open PR on stream-http package but I don't know if it will be merged one day. So I tried to desactivate node in webpack settings (https://webpack.js.org/configuration/node/) but I have another error :

'crypto' is undefined

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

To simulate an xhr request I delete win.fetch in my Cypress file, but you can do it in the project directly. And I have whatwg-fetch polyfill installed.

What is the expected behavior?

I would like to send xhr request and get the answer.

Other relevant information:
webpack version: 4.41.2
Node.js version: 10.15.3
Operating System: Mac osx

I am seeing this on a 401 in an android webview and it's blocking use of the https://github.com/Yaffle/EventSource polyfill for us. Would greatly appreciate accepting the fix.
