I'm currently working on a website, which triggers a net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR 200 error on Google Chrome. I'm not sure exactly what can provoke this error, I just noticed it pops out only when accessing the website in HTTPS. I can't be 100% sure it is related, but it looks like it prevents JavaScript to be executed properly.
For instance, the following scenario happens :
I'm accessing the website in HTTPS
My Twitter feed integrated via https://publish.twitter.com isn't loaded at all
I can notice in the console the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
If I remove the code to load the Twitter feed, the error remains
If I access the website in HTTP, the Twitter feed appears and the error disappears
Google Chrome is the only web browser triggering the error: it works well on both Edge and Firefox.
(NB: I tried with Safari, and I have a similar kcferrordomaincfnetwork 303 error)
I was wondering if it could be related to the header returned by the server since there is this '200' mention in the error, and a 404 / 500 page isn't triggering anything.
Thing is the error isn't documented at all. Google search gives me very few results. Moreover, I noticed it appears on very recent Google Chrome releases; the error doesn't pop on v.64.X, but it does on v.75+ (regardless of the OS; I'm working on Mac tho).
Might be related to Website OK on Firefox but not on Safari (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 303) neither Chrome (net::ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR)
Findings from further investigations are the following:
error doesn't pop on the exact same page if server returns 404 instead of 2XX
error doesn't pop on local with a HTTPS certificate
error pops on a different server (both are OVH's), which uses a different certificate
error pops no matter what PHP version is used, from 5.6 to 7.3 (framework used : Cakephp 2.10)
As requested, below is the returned header for the failing ressource, which is the whole web page. Even if the error is triggering on each page having a HTTP header 200, those pages are always loading on client's browser, but sometimes an element is missing (in my exemple, the external Twitter feed). Every other asset on the Network tab has a success return, except the whole document itself.
Google Chrome header (with error):
Firefox header (without error):
A curl --head --http2 request in console returns the following success:
HTTP/2 200

Trying to go deeper with the chrome://net-export/ and https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com tools is telling me the request ends with a RST_STREAM :
t=123354 [st=5170] HTTP2_SESSION_RECV_RST_STREAM
--> error_code = "2 (INTERNAL_ERROR)"
--> stream_id = 1
For what I read in this other post, "In HTTP/2, if the client wants to abort the request, it sends a RST_STREAM. When the server receives a RST_STREAM, it will stop sending DATA frames to the client, thereby stopping the response (or the download). The connection is still usable for other requests, and requests/responses that were concurrent with the one that has been aborted may continue to progress.
[...]
It is possible that by the time the RST_STREAM travels from the client to the server, the whole content of the request is in transit and will arrive to the client, which will discard it. However, for large response contents, sending a RST_STREAM may have a good chance to arrive to the server before the whole response content is sent, and therefore will save bandwidth."
The described behavior is the same as the one I can observe. But that would mean the browser is the culprit, and then I wouldn't understand why it happens on two identical pages with one having a 200 header and the other a 404 (same goes if I disable JS).
In my case it was - no disk space left on the web server.
For several weeks I was also annoyed by this "bug":
net :: ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR 200
In my case, it occurred on images generated by PHP.
It was at header() level, and on this one in particular:
header ('Content-Length:'. Filesize($cache_file));
It did obviously not return the exact size, so I deleted it and everything works fine now.
So Chrome checks the accuracy of the data transmitted via the headers, and if it does not correspond, it fails.
EDIT
I found why content-length via filesize was being miscalculated: the GZIP compression is active on the PHP files, so excluding the file in question will fix the problem. Put this code in the .htaccess:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI ^ / thumb.php no-gzip -vary
It works and we keep the header Content-length.
I am finally able to solve this error after researching some things I thought is causing the error for 24 errors. I visited all the pages across the web. And I am happy to say that I have found the solution.
If you are using NGINX, then set gzip to off and add proxy_max_temp_file_size 0; in the server block like I have shown below.
server {
...
...
gzip off;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
....
Why? Because what actually happening was all the contents were being compressed twice and we don't want that, right?!
The fix for me was setting minBytesPerSecond in IIS to 0. This setting can be found in system.applicationHost/webLimits in IIS's Configuration Editor. By default it's set to 240.
It turns out that some web servers will cut the connection to a client if the server's data throughput to the client passes below a certain limit. This is to protect against "slow drip" denial of service attacks. However, this limit can also be triggered in cases where an innocent user requests many resources all at once (such as lots of images on a single page), and the server is forced to ration the bandwidth for each request so much that it causes one or more requests to drop below the throughput limit, which causes the server to cut the connection and shows up as net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR in Chrome.
For example, if you request 11 GIF images all at once, and each individual GIF is 10 megabytes (11 * 10 = 110 megabytes total), and the server is only able to serve at 100 megabytes per second (per thread), the server will have to slow the throughput on the last GIF image until the first 10 are finished. If the throughput on that last GIF is slowed so much that it drops below the minBytesPerSecond limit, it will cut the connection.
I was able to resolve this by following these steps:
I used Chrome's Network Log Export tool at chrome://net-export/ to see exactly what was behind the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error. I started the log, reproduced the error, and stopped the log.
I imported the log into the log viewer at https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/#import, and saw an interesting event titled HTTP2_SESSION_RECV_RST_STREAM, with error code 8 (CANCEL).
I did some Googling on the term "RST_STREAM" (which appears to be an abbreviated form of "reset stream") and found a discussion between some people talking about an IIS setting called minBytesPerSecond (discussion here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aeb01c46-bcdf-40ed-a417-8a3558221137). I also found another discussion where there was some debate about whether minBytesPerSecond was intended to protect against slow HTTP DoS (slow drip) attacks (discussion here: IIS 8.5 low minBytesPerSecond not working against slow HTTP POST). In any case, I learned that IIS uses minBytesPerSecond to determine whether to cancel a connection if it cannot sustain the minimum throughput. This is relevant in cases where a single user makes many requests to a large resource, and each new connection ends up starving all the other unfinished ones, to the point where some may fall below the minBytesPerSecond threshold.
To confirm that the server was canceling requests due to a minBytesPerSecond error, I checked my server's HTTPERR log at c:\windows\system32\logfiles\httperr. Sure enough, I opened the file and did a text search for "MinBytesPerSecond" and there were tons of entries for it.
So after I changed the minBytesPerSecond to 0, I was no longer able to reproduce the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error. So, it appears that the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error was being caused by my server (IIS) canceling the request because the throughput rate from my server fell below the minBytesPerSecond threshold.
So for all you reading this right now, if you're not using IIS, maybe there is a similar setting related to minimum throughput rate you can play with to see if it gets rid of the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error.
I experienced a similar problem, I was getting ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR on one of the HTTP GET requests.
I noticed that the Chrome update was pending, so I updated the Chrome browser to the latest version and the error was gone next time when I relaunched the browser.
I encountered this because the http2 server closed the connection when sending a big response to the Chrome.
Why?
Because it is just a setting of the http2 server, named WriteTimeout.
I had this problem when having a Nginx server that exposing the node-js application to the external world. The Nginx made the file (css, js, ...) compressed with gzip and with Chrome it looked like the same.
The problem solved when we found that the node-js server is also compressed the content with gzip. In someway, this double compressing leading to this problem. Canceling node-js compression solved the issue.
I didn't figure out what exactly was happening, but I found a solution.
The CDN feature of OVH was the culprit. I had it installed on my host service but disabled for my domain because I didn't need it.
Somehow, when I enable it, everything works.
I think it forces Apache to use the HTTP2 protocol, but what I don't understand is that there indeed was an HTTP2 mention in each of my headers, which I presume means the server was answering using the right protocol.
So the solution for my very particular case was to enable the CDN option on all concerned domains.
If anyone understands better what could have happened here, feel free to share explanations.
I faced this error several times and, it was due to transferring large resources(larger than 3MB) from server to client.
This error is currently being fixed: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2001234
But it helped me, changing nginx settings:
turning on gzip;
add_header 'Cache-Control' 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate, max-age=0';
expires off;
In my case, Nginx acts as a reverse proxy for Node.js application.
We experienced this problem on pages with long Base64 strings. The problem occurs because we use CloudFlare.
Details: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/err-http2-protocol-error/119619.
Key section from the forum post:
After further testing on Incognito tabs on multiple browsers, then
doing the changes on the code from a BASE64 to a real .png image, the
issue never happened again, in ANY browser. The .png had around 500kb
before becoming a base64,so CloudFlare has issues with huge lines of
text on same line (since base64 is a long string) as a proxy between
the domain and the heroku. As mentioned before, directly hitting
Heroku url also never happened the issue.
The temporary hack is to disable HTTP/2 on CloudFlare.
Hope someone else can produce a better solution that doesn't require disabling HTTP/2 on CloudFlare.
In our case, the reason was invalid header.
As mentioned in Edit 4:
take the logs
in the viewer choose Events
chose HTTP2_SESSION
Look for something similar:
HTTP2_SESSION_RECV_INVALID_HEADER
--> error = "Invalid character in header name."
--> header_name = "charset=utf-8"
By default nginx limits upload size to 1MB.
With client_max_body_size you can set your own limit, as in
location /uploads {
...
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
You can set this setting also on the http or server block instead (See here).
This fixed my issue with net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Just posting here to let people know that ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR in Chrome can also be caused by an unexpected response to a CORS request.
In our case, the OPTIONS request was successful, but the following PUT that should upload an image to our infrastructure was denied with a 410 (because of a missing configuration allowing uploads) resulting in Chrome issuing a ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR.
When checking in Firefox, the error message was much more helpful:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.[...] (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing). Status code: 410.
My recommendation would be to check an alternative browser in this case.
I'm not convinced this was the issue but through cPanel I'd noticed the PHP version was on 5.6 and changing it to 7.3 seemed to fix it. This was for a WordPress site. I noticed I could access images and generic PHP files but loading WordPress itself caused the error.
Seems like many issues may cause ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR: in my case it was a minor syntax error in a php-generated header, Content-Type : text/plain . You might notice the space before the colon... that was it. Works no problem when the colon is right next to the header name like Content-Type: text/plain. Only took a million hours to figure out... The error happens with Chrome only, Firefox loaded the object without complaint.
If simply restarting e.g., Chrome Canary, with a fresh profile fixes the problem, then one surely
is the "victim" of a failed Chrome Variation! Yes, there are ways to opt out of being a Guinea pig in Chrome's field testing.
In my case
header params can not set null or empty string
{
'Authorization': Authorization //Authorization can't use null or ''
}
I got the same issue (asp, c# - HttpPostedFileBase) when posting a file that was larger than 1MB (even though application doesn't have any limitation for file size), for me the simplification of model class helped. If you got this issue, try to remove some parts of the model, and see if it will help in any way. Sounds strange, but worked for me.
I have been experiencing this problem for the last week now as I've been trying to send DELETE requests to my PHP server through AJAX. I recently upgraded my hosting plan where I now have an SSL Certificate on my host which stores the PHP and JS files. Since adding an SSL Certificate I no longer experience this issue. Hoping this helps with this strange error.
I also faced this error and I believe there can be multiple reasons behind it. Mine was, ARR was getting timed-out.
In my case, browser was making a request to a reverse proxy site where I have set my redirection rules and that proxy site is eventually requesting the actual site. Now for huge data it was taking more than 2 minutes 5 seconds and Application Request Routing timeout for my server was set to 2 minutes. I fixed this by increasing the ARR timeout by below steps:
1. Go to IIS
2. Click on server name
3. Click on Application Request Routing Cache in the middle pane
4. Click Server Proxy settings in right pane
5. Increase the timeout
6. Click Apply
My team saw this on a single javascript file we were serving up. Every other file worked fine. We switched from http2 back to http1.1 and then either net::ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING or ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH. We ultimately discovered that there was a corporate filter (Trustwave) that was erroneously detecting an "infoleak" (we suspect it detected something in our file/filename that resembled a social security number). Getting corporate to tweak this filter resolved our issues.
For my situation this error was caused by having circular references in json sent from the server when using an ORM for parent/child relationships. So the quick and easy solution was
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, new JsonSerializerSettings { ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore })
The better solution is to create DTOs that do not contain the references on both sides (parent/child).
I had another case that caused an ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR that hasn't been mentioned here yet. I had created a cross reference in IOC (Unity), where I had class A referencing class B (through a couple of layers), and class B referencing class A. Bad design on my part really. But I created a new interface/class for the method in class A that I was calling from class B, and that cleared it up.
I hit this issue working with Server Sent Events. The problem was solved when I noticed that the domain name I used to initiate the connection included a trailing slash, e.g. https://foo.bar.bam/ failed with ERR_HTTP_PROTOCOL_ERROR while https://foo.bar.bam worked.
In my case (nginx on windows proxying an app while serving static assets on its own) page was showing multiple assets including 14 bigger pictures; those errors were shown for about 5 of those images exactly after 60 seconds; in my case it was a default send_timeout of 60s making those image requests fail; increasing the send_timeout made it work
I am not sure what is causing nginx on windows to serve those files so slow - it is only 11.5MB of resources which takes nginx almost 2 minutes to serve but I guess it is subject for another thread
In my case, the problem was that Bitdefender provided me with a local ssl certificate, when the website was still without a certificate.
When I disabled Bitdefender and reloaded the page, the actual valid server ssl certificate was loaded, and the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR was gone.
In my case, it was WordPress that now requires PHP 7.4 and I was running 7.2.
As soon as I updated, the errors disappeared.
Happened again and this time it was the ad-blocker that didn't like the name of my images (yt.png, ig.png, url.png). I added a prefix and all loaded ok.
In my case, the time on my computer (browser client) was out of date, synced it using settings in windows, and then the error got away
I had line breaks in my Content-Security-Policy in my nginx.conf that produced this error when used in an docker container running in Kube in GCP (serving angular but I doubt that matters).
Putting them all back on the same line and the problem went away.
A curl -v helped diagnose.
http2 error: Invalid HTTP header field was received: frame type: 1, stream: 1, name: [content-security-policy], value: [script-src 'unsafe-inline' 'self....
It was much easier to edit on separate lines but never again!

The fix for me was setting minBytesPerSecond in IIS to 0. This setting can be found in system.applicationHost/webLimits in IIS's Configuration Editor. By default it's set to 240.
It turns out that some webservers will cut the connection to a client if the server's data throughput to the client passes below a certain limit. This is to protect against "slow drip" denial of service attacks. However, this limit can also be triggered in cases where an innocent user requests many resources all at once (such as lots of images on a single page), and the server is forced to ration the bandwidth for each request so much that it causes one or more requests to drop below the throughput limit, which causes the server to cut the connection and shows up as net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR in Chrome.
For example, let's say you request 10 GIF images all at once, and each GIF is 10 megabytes (100MB total). If your download speed from the server is 1MB per second, the server will have to divide that 1MBps amongst the 10 images somehow. Now, here is where it gets interesting, as how the bandwidth gets divided seems to be random:
The server may evenly divide the bandwidth by 10, resulting in 0.1MBps allocated to each image. None of the download speeds fall below the default IIS minBytesPerSecond limit of 240 bytes, so all the GIFs download successfully.
The server may serve the first 5 at 0.2MBps, and put the last 5 "on hold" at 0MBps, to be downloaded after the first 5. However, since 0MBps is below the default IIS minBytesPerSecond limit of 240 bytes, the server cuts the connection to the remaining downloads.
How IIS decides to divide the bandwidth across multiple connections is still unknown to me; it appears to be random from the testing I've done. If you have any insight, please comment below. Note: the web browser may actually be throttling the bandwidth too, so don't rule out the browser.
I was able to stop the connections from being cut by following these steps:
I used Chrome's Network Log Export tool at chrome://net-export/ to see exactly what was behind the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error. I started the log, reproduced the error, and stopped the log.
I imported the log into the log viewer at https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/#import, and saw an interesting event titled HTTP2_SESSION_RECV_RST_STREAM, with error code 8 (CANCEL).
I did some Googling on the term "RST_STREAM" (which appears to be an abbreviated form of "reset stream") and found a discussion between some people talking about an IIS setting called minBytesPerSecond (discussion here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aeb01c46-bcdf-40ed-a417-8a3558221137). I also found another discussion where there was some debate about whether minBytesPerSecond was intended to protect against slow HTTP DoS (slow drip) attacks (discussion here: IIS 8.5 low minBytesPerSecond not working against slow HTTP POST). In any case, I learned that IIS uses minBytesPerSecond to determine whether to cancel a connection if it cannot sustain the minimum throughput. This is relevant in cases where a single user makes many requests to a large resource, and each new connection ends up starving all the other unfinished ones, to the point where some may fall below the minBytesPerSecond threshold.
To confirm that the server was canceling requests due to a minBytesPerSecond error, I checked my server's HTTPERR log at c:\windows\system32\logfiles\httperr. Sure enough, I opened the file and did a text search for "MinBytesPerSecond" and there were tons of entries for it.
So after I changed the minBytesPerSecond to 0, I was no longer able to reproduce the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error. So, it appears that the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error was being caused by my server (IIS) canceling the request because the throughput rate from my server fell below the minBytesPerSecond threshold.
So for all you reading this right now, if you're not using IIS, maybe there is a similar setting related to minimum throughput rate you can play with to see if it gets rid of the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR error.
I experienced a similar problem, I was getting ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR on one of the HTTP GET requests.
I noticed that the Chrome update was pending, so I updated the Chrome browser to the latest version and the error was gone next time when I relaunched the browser.
I encountered this because the http2 server closed the connection when sending a big response to the Chrome.

I faced this error several times and, it was due to transferring large resources(larger than 3MB) from server to client.
This error is currently being fixed: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2001234
But it helped me, changing nginx settings:

We experienced this problem on pages with long Base64 strings. The problem occurs because we use CloudFlare.
Details: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/err-http2-protocol-error/119619.
Key section from the forum post:
After further testing on Incognito tabs on multiple browsers, then
doing the changes on the code from a BASE64 to a real .png image, the
issue never happened again, in ANY browser. The .png had around 500kb
before becoming a base64,so CloudFlare has issues with huge lines of
text on same line (since base64 is a long string) as a proxy between
the domain and the heroku. As mentioned before, directly hitting
Heroku url also never happened the issue.
The temporary hack is to disable HTTP/2 on CloudFlare.
Hope someone else can produce a better solution that doesn't require disabling HTTP/2 on CloudFlare.
In our case, the reason was invalid header.
As mentioned in Edit 4:
take the logs
in the viewer choose Events
chose HTTP2_SESSION
Look for something similar:
HTTP2_SESSION_RECV_INVALID_HEADER
--> error = "Invalid character in header name."

By default nginx limits upload size to 1MB.
With client_max_body_size you can set your own limit, as in
location /uploads {
...
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
You can set this setting also on the http or server block instead (See here).
This fixed my issue with net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Just posting here to let people know that ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR in Chrome can also be caused by an unexpected response to a CORS request.
In our case, the OPTIONS request was successful, but the following PUT that should upload an image to our infrastructure was denied with a 410 (because of a missing configuration allowing uploads) resulting in Chrome issuing a ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR.
When checking in Firefox, the error message was much more helpful:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.[...] (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing). Status code: 410.
My recommendation would be to check an alternative browser in this case.
I'm not convinced this was the issue but through cPanel I'd noticed the PHP version was on 5.6 and changing it to 7.3 seemed to fix it. This was for a WordPress site. I noticed I could access images and generic PHP files but loading WordPress itself caused the error.
Seems like many issues may cause ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR: in my case it was a minor syntax error in a php-generated header, Content-Type : text/plain . You might notice the space before the colon... that was it. Works no problem when the colon is right next to the header name like Content-Type: text/plain. Only took a million hours to figure out... The error happens with Chrome only, Firefox loaded the object without complaint.
If simply restarting e.g., Chrome Canary, with a fresh profile fixes the problem, then one surely
is the "victim" of a failed Chrome Variation! Yes, there are ways to opt out of being a Guinea pig in Chrome's field testing.
In my case
header params can not set null or empty string
{
'Authorization': Authorization //Authorization can't use null or ''
}
I got the same issue (asp, c# - HttpPostedFileBase) when posting a file that was larger than 1MB (even though application doesn't have any limitation for file size), for me the simplification of model class helped. If you got this issue, try to remove some parts of the model, and see if it will help in any way. Sounds strange, but worked for me.
I have been experiencing this problem for the last week now as I've been trying to send DELETE requests to my PHP server through AJAX. I recently upgraded my hosting plan where I now have an SSL Certificate on my host which stores the PHP and JS files. Since adding an SSL Certificate I no longer experience this issue. Hoping this helps with this strange error.
I also faced this error and I believe there can be multiple reasons behind it. Mine was, ARR was getting timed-out.
In my case, browser was making a request to a reverse proxy site where I have set my redirection rules and that proxy site is eventually requesting the actual site. Now for huge data it was taking more than 2 minutes 5 seconds and Application Request Routing timeout for my server was set to 2 minutes. I fixed this by increasing the ARR timeout by below steps:
1. Go to IIS
2. Click on server name
3. Click on Application Request Routing Cache in the middle pane
4. Click Server Proxy settings in right pane
5. Increase the timeout
6. Click Apply
My team saw this on a single javascript file we were serving up. Every other file worked fine. We switched from http2 back to http1.1 and then either net::ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING or ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH. We ultimately discovered that there was a corporate filter (Trustwave) that was erroneously detecting an "infoleak" (we suspect it detected something in our file/filename that resembled a social security number). Getting corporate to tweak this filter resolved our issues.
For my situation this error was caused by having circular references in json sent from the server when using an ORM for parent/child relationships. So the quick and easy solution was
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, new JsonSerializerSettings { ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore })
The better solution is to create DTOs that do not contain the references on both sides (parent/child).
I had another case that caused an ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR that hasn't been mentioned here yet. I had created a cross reference in IOC (Unity), where I had class A referencing class B (through a couple of layers), and class B referencing class A. Bad design on my part really. But I created a new interface/class for the method in class A that I was calling from class B, and that cleared it up.
I hit this issue working with Server Sent Events. The problem was solved when I noticed that the domain name I used to initiate the connection included a trailing slash, e.g. https://foo.bar.bam/ failed with ERR_HTTP_PROTOCOL_ERROR while https://foo.bar.bam worked.
In my case (nginx on windows proxying an app while serving static assets on its own) page was showing multiple assets including 14 bigger pictures; those errors were shown for about 5 of those images exactly after 60 seconds; in my case it was a default send_timeout of 60s making those image requests fail; increasing the send_timeout made it work
I am not sure what is causing nginx on windows to serve those files so slow - it is only 11.5MB of resources which takes nginx almost 2 minutes to serve but I guess it is subject for another thread
In my case, the problem was that Bitdefender provided me with a local ssl certificate, when the website was still without a certificate.
When I disabled Bitdefender and reloaded the page, the actual valid server ssl certificate was loaded, and the ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR was gone.
In my case, it was WordPress that now requires PHP 7.4 and I was running 7.2.
As soon as I updated, the errors disappeared.
Happened again and this time it was the ad-blocker that didn't like the name of my images (yt.png, ig.png, url.png). I added a prefix and all loaded ok.
In my case, the time on my computer (browser client) was out of date, synced it using settings in windows, and then the error got away
I had line breaks in my Content-Security-Policy in my nginx.conf that produced this error when used in an docker container running in Kube in GCP (serving angular but I doubt that matters).
Putting them all back on the same line and the problem went away.
A curl -v helped diagnose.
http2 error: Invalid HTTP header field was received: frame type: 1, stream: 1, name: [content-security-policy], value: [script-src 'unsafe-inline' 'self....
It was much easier to edit on separate lines but never again!
Given the following PHP 5.1.6 code being served through Apache 2.2.9:
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
When I browse to this file (with any browser) I get a "connection reset" message. (Firefox says "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.", and Chrome says "The connection to staging.neopets.com was interrupted." It makes no difference whether there's any body after the header call.
httpd.conf has rewrite rules that force all requests to run through a front controller script. This is how it's worked for years. The front controller tries to route the request, and if it can't, it sets the response code to 404, shows some error copy, and exits. For whatever reason, today it decided to lose its mind and blow up whenever a
error.log shows nothing. access.log shows the requests being served as 404s:
192.168.0.2 - - [26/Jan/2012:12:03:11 -0800] "GET /text.php HTTP/1.1" 404 20 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1"
The Apache config has not been touched in months. All other header responses work properly (401, 403, 200, 302, etc.), everything else is totally normal, but for some reason if I have PHP make the call above, it resets the connection.
I even watched it with Wireshark and it sends back a whole bunch of RST,ACK packets after the request is sent.
Doing wget localhost/test.php (from the machine in question) works fine, but doing wget badhost/test.php (from another machine) shows a connection reset error as well. Maybe Apache is doing some kind of reverse IP lookup on remote requests for 404s and melting down?
EDIT: After further investigation, turns out it's some network problem where 404s between the hosting facility and our office are killed with a connection reset. So, closing because it's not something that anyone here can answer ;-) Thanks!
That header that you send from your PHP script is not what makes Apache display its 404 page. Apache displays a 404 page (and sends a 404 Header) when it can't find the requested file. Since this is not the case here (because test.php is found and executed), that 404 header has no sense. That is probably what got your browser(s) confused.
If you call this as part of some application error handling or something, what you should do instead is redirect the user to the application's custom "File not found" page.
what is the difference from setting the responce status in php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
and
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
What is the difference from the client point of view (aka browser or a client implementation for RESTful WS). I understood that the second one has to do something with CGI.
HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found is the HTTP response code, it's what allows clients to determine whether a request succeeded or not.
Status: 404 Not Found just sets an extra header field called Status with the value of 404 Not Found. It has no intrinsic meaning, it's like setting header('Foo: Bar'). It may mean something to somebody, but it's not officially specified what it should mean. The HTTP response code will be a normal 200 OK.
There seems to be a special case when running PHP through FastCGI. Apparently you can't set the HTTP/ status directly when invoking PHP with this method. Instead you have to set this unofficial header, which will be converted to a real HTTP/ code before it's send back to the client (apparently a limitation of how PHP can talk to the web server when invoked via CGI). In all other cases, it'll just be send as-is (with no meaning) and the real HTTP response code will be 200 OK.
That's what I could gather from the description in the manual at least, I've never had to use this. Also, you're insane if you run PHP through CGI, so hopefully nobody needs this in this day and age. ;o)
I'm having a problem implementing custom 404 error pages on my Windows/IIS/PHP webhost. Whenever I try to send the 404 status message in the header, no content is sent to the client and a blank page is displayed instead.
Here is a very simple script I'm using:
<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
header('Status: 404 Not Found');
var_dump(headers_list());
?>
On my dev machine the output (displayed in a browser) is
array(2) { [0]=> string(23) "X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6" [1]=> string(21) "Status: 404 Not Found" }
On my host there is no output. I can't seem to generate anything but a blank page regardless of what content is echoed by PHP, or included below as normal HTML, though PHP processing e.g. logging, database writes etc continue as normal.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be or how to resolve it?
'blank page' smells like error_reporting(0) hiding the error messages you would get. Maybe there is some output before your headers and that raises an error. Check that.
If PHP is configured at your host to run through CGI, it may be impossible to generate 404 error pages in IIS (except by lying and returning 200 OK, which is a Bad Thing). Certainly I've been unable to persuade IIS 4-6.0 to allow my CGI 404 errors through to browsers.
You generally don't want PHP to run CGI anyway, there are other related problems as well as it being slow. On IIS, the PHP ISAPI extension should be preferred (though as I've not tried it I can't confirm it solves this specific problem).
What if you put text after the PHP tags?
Also, make sure your script isn't erroring out on your host, whether checking apache error logs, running php -l on your script or turning error_reporting on and display_errors on.
I have the same problem with PHP 5.2.6 on Linux. I find that the first 8109 bytes are not printed by the web server.
IE6 ignores custom error pages < 512 bytes in length. This could be an explanation for this problem, but probably you have tested in more than one browser anyway.
Check that your host allows you to change headers on the fly with PHP. My host doesn't allow me to set the 404 header through PHP, though other headers (301, content-type) are fine.
My advice is to not set the HTTP/1.1 404 header yourself and let the web server do it for you.
Traditionally, this is done through the Status header, which the web server should take and turn into an HTTP/1.0 or 1.1 404 Not Found header.
(Side Note: The Status header is not a real HTTP header and is used solely to communicate information from an app to the server itself.)
