Description
We have now confirmed that compression does allow for larger plain-text messages to make it through bottle
's body size check. It's only lookin at the 'raw', and thus compressed if applicable, size.
Normal gzip will compress things to 10-11% their original size, and thus the 1MiB bottle limit means potentially a ~10MiB plain-text message.
However it's possible to craft nasty gzip bombs that are small on the wire but decompress to much smaller. Thus we should see if zlib
has any way to limit the amount of memory/buffer it will use in decompression and throw an exception if exceded.
