How to handle stream must have data error in PDF JS?

I use PDFJS to display PDFs. Most errors are catched properly by this fragment of viewer.js (file from the PDFJS package):

PDFJS.getDocument(parameters, pdfDataRangeTransport, passwordNeeded).then(
      function getDocumentCallback(pdfDocument) {
        self.load(pdfDocument, scale);
        self.loading = false;


      },
      function getDocumentError(message, exception) {

But when PDF has 0 length an error :

Error: stream must have data
util.js (wiersz 62)

util.js (wiersz 64)
Error: stream must have data


throw new Error(msg);

The fragment of the code throwing the error in util.js looks like this:

// Fatal errors that should trigger the fallback UI and halt execution by
// throwing an exception.
function error(msg) {
  // If multiple arguments were passed, pass them all to the log function.
  if (arguments.length > 1) {
    var logArguments = ['Error:'];
    logArguments.push.apply(logArguments, arguments);
    log.apply(null, logArguments);
    // Join the arguments into a single string for the lines below.
    msg = [].join.call(arguments, ' ');
  } else {
    log('Error: ' + msg);
  }
  log(backtrace());
  PDFJS.LogManager.notify('error', msg);
  throw new Error(msg);
}

So my question is, how to properly handle 0 file size PDF error in PDF JS in viewer.js PDFView class?
