The spec says that Response.body can be null (in the event of requests that should have no body, like HEAD requests) and Firefox adheres to it which results in request failure for HEAD requests on Firefox for web exports.
This commit addresses that by treating a null body as an "empty" body (without using a polyfill) and avoids changing the request lifecycle as much as possible.
PR review changes:
- Use == instead of strict ===
- Do not use ?? null
- Comment formatting
Body length cannot be reliably retrieved from the web.
Reading the "content-length" value will return a meaningless value when
the response is compressed, as reading will return uncompressed chunks
in any case, resulting in a mismatch between the detected body size and
the actual size returned by repeatedly calling read_response_body_chunk.
Additionally, while "content-length" is considered a safe CORS header,
"content-encoding" is not, so using the "content-encoding" to decide if
"content-length" is meaningful is not an option either.
We simply must accept the fact that browsers are awful when it comes to
networking APIs.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
