This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).

Lix
Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.
Read more about us at https://lix.systems.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
For systems that already have a Nix implementation installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
