- Don't call zlib's inflate() when avail_in stream bytes is 0. This is a follow up to the parent commit 19e66e5. Prior to that change libcurl's inflate_stream could call zlib's inflate even when no bytes were available, causing inflate to return Z_BUF_ERROR, and then inflate_stream would treat that as a hard error and return CURLE_BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING. According to the zlib FAQ, Z_BUF_ERROR is not fatal. This bug would happen randomly since packet sizes are arbitrary. A test of 10,000 transfers had 55 fail (ie 0.55%).
