new bce2c909b2 Do not compress partial content with a content coding
(#1115)
bce2c909b2 is described below
commit bce2c909b2f0fd08f50e9e832f9ad91279f4da54
Author: Arturo Bernal <[email protected]>

Do not compress partial content with a content coding (#1115)
The ranges in a Content-Range header field refer to the bytes of the
representation (RFC 9110, section 14.4). A 206 response whose payload
was compressed with Content-Encoding: gzip described the range of the
uncompressed representation but sent a compressed slice of it, which a
client is unable to reassemble. Do not compress a response that has a
Content-Range header with a content coding. A transfer coding applies to
the message rather than to the representation so it is not affected.
Don't set the vary header if the content won't ever be compressed
