IIS & Chrome: failed to load resource: net::ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING

Question

I recently came across a Chrome issue which I think is worth sharing it with you.

I worked on a self written API using an HttpHandler which primary should return jso

Answer 1

Once I had the same problem and the main reason was lying in my controller return type. If you try to return a C# object just as-is, you will only get net::ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING so don't forget to serialize your complex objects before sending them out for java script client (or View). i.e. my controller return type was :

public async Task> GetComplexModelList(){
    return new List()
}

Which caused INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING error, so I tried to fix my mistake with something like:

using Newtonsoft.Json;
...
public async Task GetComplexModelList(){
    return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new List())
}
