Revert erroneous use of the Content-Length header (#637)

This reverts commit 6c907eb33f

The use of the Content-Length value here is erroneous and may lead
to truncated downloads if a compression scheme is specified in the
Content-Encoding header, as the Content-Length header refers to the
size of encoded data, not of the raw bytestream. This has been noticed
in the wild with WebVTT subtitle segments.
