The response body is returned from the application in one of following two types of scalar variable:
[...]
* An IO::Handle-like object or a built-in filehandle.

[...]

PSGI interface allows applications and servers optionally handle callback-style response (instead of three-element array reference) to delay the HTTP response and stream content (server push).
