[issue24301] gzip module failing to decompress valid compressed file

[Ruben Vorderman]

Ruben Vorderman <r.h.p.vorderman at lumc.nl> added the comment:

>From the spec:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1952


   2.2. File format

      A gzip file consists of a series of "members" (compressed data
      sets).  The format of each member is specified in the following
      section.  The members simply appear one after another in the file,
      with no additional information before, between, or after them.


Gzip files with garbage after them are corrupted or not spec compliant. Therefore the gzip module should raise an error in this case.
