[Live] With nginx and http2, the "Content-Type" header is stripped in a 204 response

[xaviermarchegay]

Pre-requisites:

• nginx with http2
• redirection in a LiveAction
• symfony/ux-live-component v2.5.0

Steps:

• Any redirection in a controller with a LiveAction
• Symfony returns a 204 response with a specific header Content-Type - \Symfony\UX\LiveComponent\EventListener
• Nginx drops the header - https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/2109
• Symfony displays an error because the header is missing - https://github.com/symfony/ux/blob/2.x/src/LiveComponent/assets/dist/live_controller.js#L1520

Technically it is a nginx bug but a 204 response means "no content" so it is confusing to have a content type header when there is none? Moreover nginx does not seem in a hurry to fix it (2 years and counting) so I think it should be fixed in this package. Maybe simply an other header or another way to detect errors?

Let’s drop the header during the redirect (which is when we have an empty body) and, instead, add a 2nd header - something custom like X-Live-Redirect. Then, in the javascript, only throw the error of the content-type is wrong/missing AND that special header is missing.

I’d welcome a PR of you’re open to it :)
