Failing to consume POST server side makes the app unable to receive the response

[SimenB]

🐛 Bug Report

Horrible title, sorry 😬

When uploading a file using multipart form, if the server does not consume the stream, the client is unable to receive the error returned by the server

Note that in the provided reproduction, this happens on both android and ios. On my real project, it only happens on ios, and android works correctly. I'm not sure what the differences between my real project and this reproduction is...

The reproduction is quite big (apollo server, expo etc), but I think it's still small enough to be useful

(I was told to open up this issue, sorry I wasn't able to reduce it further down.)

To Reproduce

See reproduction repo: https://github.com/SimenB/rn-response

Expected Behavior

The error should propagate properly regardless if the stream ins consumed on the server or not
