Failed to load resource: net::ER

Answer 1

In my case I was miscalculating the Content-Length that I advertised in the header. I was serving Range-Requests for files and I mistakenly published the filesize in Content-Length.

I fixed the problem by setting Content-Length to the actual range that I was sending back to the browser.

So in case I am answering to a normal request I set the Content-Length to the filesize. In case I am answering to a range-request I set the Content-Length to the actualy length of the requested range.
