The undici based fetch (exposed as globalThis.fetch in Node 18 and up) doesn't work out of the box with global-agent which we use to proxy the requests through Jambox.
Thought about applying this in our application code but other apps probably want a similar fix as well.
There is some traction on an issue for the Node steering committee to standardize this which should make this code obsolete, but who knows when that will land, see: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/43187
