When servers send Content-Encoding: gzip, Content-Length reflects compressed size, but requests auto-decompresses. This caused downloaded bytes to exceed Content-Length, triggering false errors. Changed interrupted check from `!=` to `<` so receiving more bytes than expected is correctly treated as complete. Fixes httpie#1642 See also httpie#423

When servers send
Content-Encoding: gzipwith--download, HTTPie reports "Incomplete download" even though the file downloads successfully. This happens becauseContent-Lengthreflects the compressed size, butrequestsauto-decompresses the response, so the downloaded bytes exceedContent-Length.The fix changes the interrupted check from
!=to<. Now "received more bytes than expected" is treated as complete, not interrupted. This also preserves progress tracking (percentage display) which would be lost if we disabled size checking entirely.Fixes #1642
