This reverts commit 84a028d.
I’ve been giving this change some thought, and I’ve decided that my original fix is a layering violation.
OkHttp’s ResponseBody API streams bytes to the reader, and there’s no reason to think the decompressed data is going to yield a crash. For example, the consumer might be doing something super basic, like playing a looping sound on a speaker.
If the client is going to make a call that could result in an overly-large response, the client should put limits on how many bytes it reads.
