Not sure what you mean by "writing phase".

I use it for debugging, e.g. seeing what is in a POST request.

Possibly.

Yes, that could be useful.

See above (POST).

As (I thought) I already wrote, I think it's a bad idea to change the
default behaviour.

Having an option to limit the threads and limit the queued requests
would be useful.

So I suggest making the default values 0, and only creating the thread
pool and queue if the value is > 0.

Again, the documentation needs to be updated to describe how to use
the new settings.
