Hi,

I am opening an issue because I just upgraded to the latest version (v.0.20.10) and I started having issues pulling from my Docker registry. I have been testing and all seems to work on app version v.0.20.8.

On newer versions I get the following error:

docker pull registry.example.com/myapp:latest
latest: Pulling from myapp
InvalidArgument: Target.Size must be greater than zero: invalid argument

When doing the Curl call to my registry:

curl -v -I https://registry.example.com/v2/myapp/blobs/sha256:123345456712344567123475346345645
...

content-length: 0

I did the same test using v0.20.8 and I get proper length:

content-length: 1995

My assumption is that something changed on how the content length is managed on the HEAD calls.
