What's the net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR about?

Question

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 erro

Answer 1

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.
