- as reported in HEAD requests fail with: HTTP/2 stream 1 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR #13725, some servers wrongly send body bytes in responses to a HEAD request. This used to be tolerated in curl 8.4 and before and leads to failed transfers in newer versions.
- restore previous behaviour for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2:
- 1.1: do not add 'Transfer-Encoding' writers from HEAD responses. RFC 9112 says they do not apply.
- 2: when the transfer expects 'no_body', to not report stream resets as error when all response headers have been received.
