Unable to download large files from gitlab.io

Summary

If you try to download a large file from gitlab.io the connection is closed after about 37s. This is probably a regression of the recent security fix.

Steps to reproduce

Try to download a large file over a slow connection or try to rate limit your connection (wget --limit-rate works to reproduce this issue). This affects f.e. https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo. (see paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo#77 (closed)) If you try to download the mentioned codium_1.66.0-1648720116_amd64.deb (80Mb) and the download requires more than about 37s the connection is closed and the download is not finished.
