Reading a binary fixture get it's content changed

[andrealmieda]

Current behavior

In the process of updating from cypress@8 to cypress@9, It was noticed that intercepting a binary file had changed, making the intercepted file to be corrupted (not in the expected format).

Here's a screenshot of the update and the files diffing

Desired behavior

When reading a binary fixture the content of it shouldn't be changed when serving it (via cy.intercept)

Test code to reproduce

I created a small test to download the intercepted binary file and then manually check it on the terminal

@andrealmieda Thank you for creating this issue and providing a reproducible example of the behavior you are seeing. Using your example project, I was able to re-create the issue you are seeing.

It seems this issue caused by the same regression causing #19330. The details of the regressions can found on #19330 (comment). A slight change will be needed in Cypress to maintain the previous functionality.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#19379, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

Released in 9.2.0.
