Curl does not handle unrequested content compression gracefully.
Today I learned there is a compression library/program called "brotli" (Brötli, Swiss-German bread roll).
The brotli file format apparently does not have a magic number.
Brotli is used as a compression format for web content-encoding (compare with gzip or zstd) and browsers support this.
I've only ever noticed gzip compression encoding before today.
