[9.0.0] Upstream Apache GZip breaks http_archive

[donkahlero]

Description of the bug:

After upgrading to bazel 9.0.0 we are facing the following issue, when downloading a helm-Chart via http_archive:

This seems to be connected to COMPRESS-705. Thought, I'd let you guys know.

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Download helm-Chart via http_archive.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

macOS

What is the output of bazel info release?

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

COMPRESS-705

As it seems that commons-compress:1.28.0 breaks this and commons-compress:1.27.1 worked (reading the ticket) upstream, I'd suggest do downgrade to commons-compress:1.27.1.

I can do that, if that is an acceptable option @iancha1992 @bharadwaj08-one.

@bazel-io fork 9.0.1

[fmeum]

@bazel-io fork 9.1.0

adding extra context: I updated commons-compress in e6edb1b from 1.26.1 to 1.28.0. It wasn't necessary/required for any dependent code, so a revert of that change should be safe as far as I know.
