[issue8672] Error decompressing valid zlib data

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

After a bit of debugging, it seems your data is not actually a complete zlib stream (*). What did you generate it with?

(*) in technical terms, the zlib never returns Z_STREAM_END when decompressing your data. The decompressobj ignores it, but the top-level decompress() function considers it an error.
