C99 says the following:

It doesn't explicitly mention weather stream can be NULL or not in case
of 0 size/nmemb - but regardless, is there any actual reason for not
returning early?
The following should be OK as far as I see:
- if (!size) nmemb = 0;
+ if (!size || !nmemb) return 0;
or `if (!len) return 0;` could also work if multiplication overflow is
not a concern.
