Question

I have two twiki sites on the same managed hosting, and they both generally work fine with Opera, Firefox, IE, Lynx etc.

Google Chrome however resolves the /cgi-bin/view url, but then tells me that 'This web page is not available'.

More information on this error tells me: Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error.

Chrome is fine on my local intranet twiki, and seems to be fine on other twikis...

I have the same problem, more or less: On twiki.org and in my hosted installation it works. In our intranet it doesn't.

What skin are you using?

Another question, does your view script requires an authenticated user?

-- RafaelAlvarez - 10 Sep 2008

I'm using the default skin (pattern) for both the hosted sites that Chrome has trouble with, as well as for the local intranet that works fine. It might be worth noting that the intranet is only on version 4.0.5, whereas the hosted sites are on v4.2.0 rc2 and v4.2.2.

One of the sites requires an authenticated user for view on all webs (except Main and TWiki), the other only requires an authenticated user for edit.

This problem has been identified and fixed under the heading "Content-length breaks HTTP headers, a.o. pound and chrome fail results". For me, the problem presented itself when using an Apache 1.3 server and vanilla cgi-bin (no fastcgi, perlcgi, etc). The problem did not occur with an almost identical situation that used Apache 2.0.

Applying the patch referenced at http://foswiki.org/Tasks/Item5960 solved the problem reliably for me.

My understanding is that the above patch (or promise to fix the problem by a better means than that patch) now applies to all forthcoming versions of both foswiki and TWiki.

This item is tracked in TWikibug:Item5960.

Yes, bugs will be fixed in both projects. This is an unfortunate duplication of work caused by the fork.
