Different handling of responses with empty bodies than standalone

[dennisoelkers]

Current behavior

When retrieving a response from the backend with window.fetch which results in an empty body, it works when the code is run standalone (in a regular browser). When run from within cypress, it results in missing headers in the response.

Desired behavior

Responses should be consistent between standalone and from within cypress.

Test code to reproduce

I created a test repository that should show the differences: https://github.com/dennisoelkers/cypress-fetch-poc

Cypress Version

8.7.0

Other

No response

From further research I am getting the impression that it is only the Content-Length header which is missing. Therefore, this issue might be a duplicate of #16469.

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.
