Xpra: Ticket #1820: HTML5 is slow on startup, showing ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE

Continuing from ticket:1813#comment:4

(*-with-children commands work as expected.)

There is a small delay and a "misleading" ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE shown on Vivaldi.

Attached server logfile and screenshot. I am waiting the webpage from around 15:05:24,725 to 15:06:07,373

Server: xpra v2.3-r19012

The ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE was fixed in r19057.

These are unexpected:

invalid packet format, HTTP GET request

HTTP packets should be forwarded to the websocket handler.

Please provide steps to reproduce and/or post the "-d network,websocket" server output.

Reproduce is easy for me. Although, it could be the network setup that's getting in the way and making the delays.

Locally this works in an instant ...

Simply, run the command: xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14500 --html=on --start-child=xterm --exit-with-children=yes (Server is on the 172.16.57.0/24 network).

Then, from 10.36.143.0/24 network connect (172.16.57.108:14500).

I will provide the logs tomorrow.

I think I saw the bug once on Ubuntu 16.04, but never since. Once thing that stands out is that Ubuntu ships a really old version of websockify - this may be part of the problem. You may want to replace it with a newer version (0.8) from pypi instead. Please try connecting:

from the same machine that runs the server
using different browsers - and specify which one have problems

It seems, after updating to the latest beta I don't see that issue anymore.

However, I do see a lot of (handled?) exceptions.

Maybe something something depended on those?
