Describe the Bug

Netlify normally compresses pages with Brotli ("Content-Encoding : br"). If middleware (middleware.ts) is used, e.g. to set security headers, compression no longer works.
Example for middleware.ts:

import { defineMiddleware } from "astro/middleware";

export const onRequest = defineMiddleware(async (context, next) => {
  const response = await next();

  response.headers.set("Referrer-Policy", "same-origin");

  return response;
});

What's the expected result?

Netlify continues to compress the pages

Link to Minimal Reproducible Example

This problem happen specifically on netlify so I cannot reproduce on stackblitz or others
