Issue with BrotliDecode when hosting on itch.io.

[jonathanmccarthy]

I have several games made with the kniEngine hosted on itch.io.

They have all stopped working as an error is thrown on this line in index.html:
28: import { BrotliDecode } from './js/decode.min.js';

To reproduce go here:
https://jonathanmcc.itch.io/sceal

The error displayed in Chrome is:
Uncaught (in promise) Corrupted padding bits

The failing projects have not been updated on itch.io for about a year so something has changed externally.
Error also occurs in Firefox and Edge.
Error also occurs with a barebones solution made from the kni template with no changes.

This looks like the issue:
dotnet/aspnetcore#45191

I tried using the unminified latest version of decode.js and that also has the issue.

We are following the issue here itchio/itch.io#1512
The itch.io server or some proxy they have, is now uncompressing files on-the-fly and send the uncompressed content.

Meanwhile, as a workaround you can update this code from index.html
and set enableBrotliDecompression = false;
https://github.com/nkast/WebGLxnaProj/blob/main/WebGLxna/wwwroot/index.html#L32-L58

The drawback is that now it uses the uncompressed .DLLs , but there's is nothing we can do until it's fixed on itch.io.

Thanks for the rapid response. I applied the fix to the barebones solution I made and it worked.
There are new issues with my actual game (loading dlls such as newtonsoft.json etc).

I'll investigate those.
