Description
### Description
In a Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web project, having one controller having one view with little text, there is NO output when navigating with a browser (Chrome or Firefox), to an url which is served by this controller. (Using .NET 8.0.3)
### Reproduction Steps
Program.cs
```c#
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();
builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddResponseCompression();
var app = builder.Build();
app.MapControllers();
app.UseResponseCompression();
app.Run();
```
/Index.cshtml.cs (controller)
```C#
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace AspNetCoreNotEmpty1;
public class PopController : Controller
{
[HttpGet("~/")]
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View("/Index.cshtml");
}
}
```
/Index.cshtml
```html
Index Test 123
```

### Expected behavior
When starting (debugging) the project, here should be the text 'Index Test 123' on a browser.
### Actual behavior
Starting the project, browser is navigating to its debug localhost url.
When doing a reload of the localhost url, **nothing appears**.
Chrome debug console shows 'Failed' request, however, headers seems to be normal.
FireFox shows 'Content encoding error'.
### Regression?
_No response_
### Known Workarounds
Changing text from 'Index Test 123' to 'Index Test 1234'
Simply adding more text. there is output, as expected.
It seems that when using small text messages, the Brotli compressor, or the framework calling the compressor does not function correctly. However the headers (Chrome) are intact.
