LiteFS "Unsolicited response received on idle HTTP channel" log message

Hi!

I’ve followed this documentation on getting started with LiteFS on Fly, and some of the time when the application serves a request I get this message logged:

2023-09-23T17:29:52Z app[3d8d313c223438] lhr [info]level=INFO msg="Unsolicited response received on idle HTTP channel starting with \"<!DOCTYPE html>\\n<html>\\n<head>\\n<meta charset=\\\"utf-8\\\" />\\n<meta http-equiv=\\\"content-type\\\" content=\\\"text/html;...

From my testing there seems to be no difference to the client whether or not this is logged.

I’ve not managed to determine any pattern as to when this does or does not happen. What might be happening here?

Thanks,
Louis

Hmm, that’s a new error. I haven’t seen that before. Can you share your fly.toml & litefs.yml?

Sure thing. I believe it’s the defaults.

I would be happy for you to use my application for debugging if that helps.

Your config looks good. Yeah, that’d be great if I could poke around at the app to see what’s going on. Is it open source? If not, you can email me privately at ben@fly.io.

It’s open source: GitHub - gleam-lang/packages: 📦 Search for Gleam packages

I’m also happy for you to inspect my Fly app, including the logs. It’s all public as far as I’m concerned, and can tolerate a little downtime too.
