Web not working with compressed responses (e.g. gzip, brotli)

[quaaantumdev]

🐛 Bug Report

Looks like any image url that returns an compressed response from the server does not work. The error in the console is:

image resource service: Invalid argument(s): source array is too long

I understand that web-Support is listed as limited due to no caching, but I guess it should at least load the image with that "limited support", as Image.network(...) also does it just fine. Compressing server responses should be a common thing, and often times cannot even be switched off on server platforms.

My best guess: Maybe that the Content-Length Header is used to create some kind of buffer for the image but this header only provides the number of bytes of the body after compressing it. Using this number anyway would result in a buffer that is too small, which would explain the message. I did not figure out a way to debug this any further yet, so this really is just a guess, but maybe it helps.

I encountered this error for gzip and brotli (br) compression. Disabling the compression makes it work.

Expected behavior

Expecting to see an image but getting an error widget instead.

Reproduction steps

Load any image that is delivered by the server using some kind of compression (e.g. gzip or brotli/br).
