Discard sentry response?

[kkmuffme]

When using tunnel/relay: by default sentry replies with {id: ...}
Is this response actually used by the Sentry JS SDK for anything? Or just discarded/not used?
(bc if it's just discarded, I would change relay/tunnel endpoint to just send a 204 status without returning a response)

Hey! The JS SDK does use this response for rate limiting logic. We recommend you forward the response to the SDK! See our transport implementation for more details how this happens under the hood:

sentry-javascript/packages/core/src/transports/base.ts

Line 77 in ac2dc12

rateLimits = updateRateLimits(rateLimits, response);

Is that still accurate?

I see in the official examples nothing like that.
Example:

https://github.com/getsentry/examples/blob/66da5f8c9559f64f1bfa57f8dd9b0731f75cd0e9/tunneling/expressjs/index.js

These examples are out of date - I've just removed them and we'll be archiving the repo soon.

We'll also clean up our docs to make this more clear.

Ok, thanks. :)
