Happening again: Secure Connection Failed: Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

I posted about this about a week ago, at https://community.fly.io/t/secure-connection-failed-error-code-ssl-error-rx-record-too-long/18502/1

but the post locked after a couple of days.

I have redeployed the app, and it made no difference. However, the error did pass since I posted. But, today’ it’s back.

Just for searchers, on Chrome, the message is ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR but it’s clearly a server issue.

Do hobbyist (free users ) even get answers here?

Given that it comes and goes, I can’t imagine it’s specific to my app, but for what it’s worth, it’s at https://birdsconferring.fly.dev/

it’s almost like it happens on a schedule, as it’s happening again right now. I mean, I have a schedule too, it could have been this way for a while, although it was working earlier today.

Hi… I just tried via curl, and it went through without any apparent glitches:

Could the TOO_LONGs be due to anti-virus or corporate firewalls/proxies on your local network, perhaps?

Thanks for trying it out. I really appreciate it.

I verified that it is local to my network – at least, I tried that curl from a couple of systems I can ssh to on other networks, and got similar to you, but continue to get an error here with curl or browsers.

I tried it from a couple of other systems here, and I get an error. When I log in to my work VPN, I don’t get the error.

It’s possible that what appears transient is just the state of my work VPN connection, although I feel like I’m off the VPN enough that I’d have noticed the pattern. I’ll monitor that. And if that’s a workaround, I suppose it will do…
