Before this change, if an object compressed with "Content-Encoding:
gzip" was downloaded, a length and hash mismatch would occur since the
go runtime automatically decompressed the object on download.
If --s3-decompress is set, this change erases the length and hash on
compressed objects so they can be downloaded successfully, at the cost
of not being able to check the length or the hash of the downloaded
object.
If --s3-decompress is not set the compressed files will be downloaded
as-is providing compressed objects with intact size and hash
information.
See #2658
In
22abd785eb s3: implement reading and writing of metadata #111
The reading information of objects was refactored to use the
s3.HeadObjectOutput structure.
Unfortunately the code branch with `--s3-no-head` was not tested
otherwise this panic would have been discovered.
This shows that this is path is not integration tested, so this adds a
new integration test.
Fixes#6322
