Sometimes you get an empty reply from a webserver (Content-Length: 0) which
gets gzip compressed (and thus becomes Content-Length: 20).

Content-encoded entity body (gzip): 20 bytes [Error: Decompression failed]
Data: 1f8b080000000000000303000000000000000000
[Length: 20]

However, this is a valid gzip stream, it just returns a zero length output.

Will see if I can find out what a good solution is without mangling
tv_uncompress() too much.
