A gzip response is decompressed before the blob proxy sees the body, but
its content-length still describes the compressed bytes. Copying that
header onto the longer body made the browser stop reading that many bytes
in and call the download complete, so files arrived truncated with nothing
reporting a failure.
It took a hop that compresses to show up, and one that only compresses
above a threshold to look like a race: a Sieve script stayed intact for two
rules and came back cut off mid-rule once the third pushed it past 1 KiB.
Ask upstream for identity, and forward no length at all rather than one
that describes different bytes.
