One thing that I forgot to mention is that as per the note in [RFC 9110,
8.4.1.2] it is relatively common to have non-conformant implementations.
Hence, some clients (notably browsers) might support decoding
non-conformant payloads without the zlib header set, explaining why this
was working up to this point.
