UnityWebRequest fails on Windows if gzip compression is used
Issue started after upgrade to libcurl 7.75.
Unity never had support for compression on Windows, but it was possible to work it around by decompressing received data manually (was annoying, since on most other platforms decompression was automatic). The newer version of libcurl rejects unsupported encodings, as a result web request fails immediately if gzip compression is requested and results in failure if server disregards headers and send gzip compressed data.
The libcurl upgrade was done in 2020.3 and later, backport to 2019.4 was blocked due to this issue.

I'm using Unity 2021.1.x and developing for Android and iOS.
The biggest issue for me is that this error happens in the editor even though I am not building for Windows platform.

This issue affects the usability of many third-party SDKs such as Mapbox Maps SDK for Unity that use UnityWebRequest in Unity 2020.3+ with gzip-enabled servers.
