I'm building an API proxy with falcon. Is it possible to pass through/stream a request to the client without the API proxy process having to allocate ruby objects?

For this particular use case, the API being proxied needs HTTP basic auth and I want to provide access to the API to all users who are logged in to a Rails app. The responses are passed through as is. Right now this is achieved by render json: client.get(/projects) which will result in ruby objects getting created in the falcon process.
