[Python-modules-team] Bug#833254: [python3-aiohttp] Fails to decompress HTTP bodies

[Sven Eckelmann]

Package: python3-aiohttp
Version: 0.22.4-1
Severity: normal

It looks like this version isn't able to parse the HTTP response headers
correctly to detect the Content-Encoding for gzip compressed bodies. This
causes problems like:

    'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

when the caller tries to decode the (still gzip compressed) body as utf-8.
This problem was introduced by v0.21.5-104-g7374777 [1] and is fixed in
v0.22.4-54-g8145024 [2]

Kind regards,
	Sven
