Subsystem
Client, Js
Motivation
KTOR-7934 JS/WASM fails with "IllegalStateException: Content-Length mismatch" on requesting gzipped content
Solution
Requests from the browser will always remove the Content-Encoding and Content-Length headers. This is because Content-Encoding can be stripped by the browser while an inaccurate Content-Length remains. This depends on the server, but is common based on the CORS policy.
