Update protocol spec: Clients and servers must not attempt to decompress zero-length HTTP content #92

Closed timostamm closed 10 months ago

An issue in Connect for Kotlin reports that a client errored on a response with a zero-length body and the header Content-Encoding: gzip.

While this should not be a common form, the fetch implementations in modern browsers accept it without error. For better interoperability, this updates the protocol specification to require clients and servers to accept this form: They must not attempt to decompress zero-length payloads.
