maxContentLength size of -1 exceeded when response status is 204

Describe the bug

Hi. I'm using axios in my backend server and when I send a request to a server which is responding with 204 status code, Axios throws an error with this message : maxContentLength size of -1 exceeded.
I tried to increase the value of maxContentLength variable in the axios config. I event set the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER value for this variable but its not working.
any help

It seems like this error is also thrown when the response stream is aborted mid way through the transfer.
A bit weird if you ask me. Maybe we should have a separate error for that?

@amirAlamian did you find a solution for this? I am facing the same issue.

The same problem seems to occur in v1.5.1.

It is still there. The solution is to clear data from the response on the server side. And set the Content-Length header to 0 if the response is 204 No Content. Otherwise AXIOS will fail with this error.
