Firefox Corrupted Content Error

When I clicked on a link in a notification email, Firefox refused to load the page and gave me this error:

Corrupted Content Error

The site at https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/519288-Automatic-Login-doesn-t-work?goto=newpost has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

This is a Windows 10 machine with the latest Firefox. Not sure what that means exactly, but there must be something wrong with Apache or PHP somewhere.

Usually, clearing cache and cookies helps with this kind of thing - give
that a shot, and see if it helps.

It’s the “goto=newpost” at the end that’s causing the problem I
believe. That requires you to be logged into the forum, and if you’re
not, the forum software doesn’t know what to do with that. Take off
the “goto=newpost” from the end of the URL and it should take you to
the thread even if you’re not logged in, albeit not to the first unread
post. Can you post the text from the notification email so I can take
a look at it?

Dear mrmazda,

alphapapa has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - LEAP 42.3 Question on Multiple monitors - login screen only on “main” display - in the Hardware forum of openSUSE Forums.

This thread is located at:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/529624-Question-on-Multiple-monitors-login-screen-only-on-quot-main-quot-display?goto=newpost

Here is the message that has just been posted:


Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.

My first attempt:

  • installed arandr, did the configuration of VGA (DP-1) as primary, saved the result in my home folder, checked the contents - seems ok:

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output DP-1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI-2 --off --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal

  • copied it to etc/X11/xinit/xinit.d/setup ==> no effect, after rebooting some windows go to “HDMI-1” and the default focus for the login is still “HDMI-1” (but I can change it by moving the mouse to DP-1 and clicking…)
  • renamed setup as setup.sh (??) ==> seems to work, all application windows opened on DP-1; only the login box still uses HDMI-1 as “default”

As far as I understand, up to the login box a default or automatic configuration applies so that:

  • HDMI-1 is “left” at 0,0
  • DP-1 is “right” at 1920,0
    Just after login, my configuration applies:
  • DP-1 is “left” at 0,0
  • HDMI-1 is “right” at 1920,0

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

All the best,
openSUSE Forums

Did you get the same error with that link? I’m not seeing any problem with it.

The error only happens if the browser has no current login anywhere on opensuse.org when the link is first attempted to be opened after the email arrives. It’s happened with several such emails, but none since well over 24 hours ago.

Thanks for the information. I’ve tried that link with clean, cookies cleared
browsers and it works for me every time so I can’t reproduce it. I’ll keep an
eye open for other such reports and see if I can find a common factor.

Just happened again, probably at least 8 hours since last use of any *.o.o page on which being logged in is ever relevant :
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/529610-How-do-I-eliminate-UUID-dependence?goto=newpost

8 hours of inactivity? Then your login session may have expired, and since that logs you out in the background, the goto=newpost won’t work.

That would seem to have been the case, but when I entered the URL with ?goto=newpost omitted, “Log Out” was prominently displayed in the upper right, and subsequent page behavior response was exactly as if I had been logged in all along.

I’ll add my two cents here.

I often see a corrupted content page.

Usually, it occurs when the login cookie has expired, but there is some other opensuse cookie which has not yet expired.

When it happens – if it is late enough in the day, then I decide that’s enough of the forum for today. But if it happens earlier in the day, I go to the forum main page. Sometimes, I can login again there, which solves the problem. And sometimes I just see a clean forum page – which also solves the problem, except that any attempt to post will get me a login page.

Try this simple solution. Worked for me:
Ctrl + F5

I filed https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084827 a month after this thread. The problem continues to be sporadic. It happened again 2-3 days ago. It could be because opensuse.org performance in general is so much worse than average here because of the continuous redirections between Western USA and Europe while my typical 10+ tabs at once to the various opensuse.org subdomains, all of which load different content according to login status, are open. Load times are typically average, but latency is typically 3X-4X worse than average. No other routinely used sites put “waiting on …” on the statusbar as much, both frequency and duration. Complete timeouts resulting in white page results searching B.O.O. are common. Errors during zypper refresh are also common, not much while updating. I really don’t have much trouble using the web, except on opensuse.org, which after duckduckgo, google and wikipedia are probably my first or second most used “site”.
