Chrome gives random net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Description

When trying with https://git.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/src/branch/master I get random error from Chrome.

net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

It is very difficult to reproduce the error. I have to work in a web application that I have created that have a lot of GET and PUT for some time to get the error.

When turning on

debug.log-request-header = "enable"
debug.log-response-header = "enable"
debug.log-request-handling = "enable"

I'm unable to get the error.

I've tried to add log_error lines in h2.c in all places that could produce the error. (I get "normal" output with "h2_send_refused_stream" when trying 12 PUT from my application as expected.) I'm unsure if this (more than 8 PUTs) is required prior to getting the protocol error. When restarting the application (refresh in browser) I get h2_send_goaway with H2_E_NO_ERROR. But when the error "net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR" comes in the browser there is no additional lines in the error log.

I need some more advice on how to track this down.

I need some more advice on how to track this down.

Well, I need some sleep :), so here are some ideas to start.

The debug logging would probably be helpful, but you've tried that.

There are quite a few places in src/h2.c which might send HTTP/2 PROTOCOL_ERROR (lighttpd enum H2_E_PROTOCOL_ERROR), but we do not know if lighttpd is sending it, or if lighttpd is doing something else and Chrome is reporting net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

While you could build lighttpd with --with-libunwind and annotate src/h2.c to print a stack trace (ck_bt() from src/ck.h) in the h2_send_*() funcs if H2_E_PROTOCOL_ERROR is the error code, that might not be worth the effort unless you find a way to reproduce the error more easily.

Instead, I would suggest starting with lighttpd 1.4.59 -- perhaps add the final result of the patches for #3093 and #3100 -- and see if you can reproduce the error with that. As you suggested, perhaps the issue is exposed in combination with > 8 PUTs at the beginning of the HTTP/2 connection. That would be my hunch, too. After all, #3100 modified the patch for #3093 specifically to restore lighttpd 1.4.59 behavior to handle a large burst of requests received immediately at the beginning of the HTTP/2 connection. The behavior was modified for #3093 (and then again in #3100) for the flurry of PUT requests, and sends REFUSED_STREAM for the excess PUTs beyond what lighttpd is willing to handle in parallel for that HTTP/2 connection.

If you find that you can trigger the bug a little bit more easily (not currently the case), you might build and test lighttpd for each revision where src/h2.c has been modified since lighttpd 1.4.59, as there are not too many changes, and most are fairly small changes.

You might test with a burst of requests at connect time (after waiting for lighttpd to close the HTTP/2 connection after idle timeout (server.max-read-idle))
The default for server.max-read-idle is 60 seconds, so you probably want to tune that down to something like 2 or 3 (seconds) during testing.
Send a burst of GET requests followed by PUTs followed by GETs, and test PUTs followed by GETs, varying the first amount by < 8 or > 8.

I managed to get the error with request and response logging enabled. I'm still unsure if this is my fcgi backend or lighttpd.

I observe that id:9 is reused prior to the last one getting a response. Prior to this error I am sending the usual 12 PUTs in a burst, then some GETs, and finally a small burst of PUT's where the failing one is the first PUT. The PUT is from a ajax call the GET is from image loading in the map component in my application.

That raises (at least) two questions:
  • Is Chrome erroneously repeating the same id?
  • Why is lighttpd not rejecting the repeated id?
Actions #5

Updated by stenvaag about 3 years ago

There is probably a "goaway" here that is not logged. I removed all my logging (of goaway). I could try to reinsert, but it is difficult to get the error.

I will try to modify my fcgi backend to return an empty response on a request. If this creates a similar result this could be the error.

lighttpd src/h2.c currently ignores HTTP trailers. Here's a patch to detect and reject if an HTTP/2 HEADERS frame is treated as HTTP trailers, and contains an HTTP/2 pseudo-header (starting with ":").

id:9 for the PUT request is the 5th client stream on the HTTP/2 connection (1,3,5,7,9), so you might check the logs and match up the file descriptors (e.g. fd:11) to see the sequence of requests on the connection that had the issue (e.g. 5 PUTs and then GET?)

For testing purposes to try to reproduce the issue, have you tried tuning down the read idle timeout? server.max-read-idle = 1

With the above patches for trailers I imediately got the protocol error from the first PUT of the 12, the rest succeeded.

Updated by gstrauss about 3 years ago

Looking at error_log.zip and trying to match up against what you posted above, it looks like you may have selected fd:11 id:9 from multiple sections of the log file, and those look to be on different connections.
debug.log-state-handling = "enable" will show connection open and close, as well as request state (so might get a little noisy).

I do see that the one PUT you selected did not get an HTTP response, though it may have gotten an HTTP/2 error on the stream.

With the above patches for trailers I imediately got the protocol error from the first PUT of the 12, the rest succeeded.

Are you including trailers in your HTTP/2 requests? The patches I posted above should only affect HTTP/2 connections when trailers are sent on the client request stream.

The prior patches for #3093 and #3100 should reject the 9th PUT request on the stream (id 17) if all initial requests on the connection are PUT, and all are sent prior to the client sending a SETTINGS ACK to lighttpd. After the client sends the SETTINGS ACK to lighttpd, the client "should not" send requests that would result in more than 8 active streams at a time, since lighttpd sends SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS 8 in SETTINGS as part of the HTTP/2 Connection Preface that lighttpd sends to the client.

If you can now more easily reproduce this, would you attach a log with debugging enabled and include debug.log-state-handling = "enable"?

Also, is the behavior with the above patches (for trailers) what you expect?

Attached is a log with server.max-read-idle = 1. A grep for "driftsenheter" in the log, the last one at "12:49:19" fails with protocol error. Looks like there is a new "fd" opened just after.

The connection with the GET for "driftsenheter" in the log, the last one at "12:49:19" looks like it (the connection) was opened a few seconds earlier at 12:49:13. The logs do not contain every HTTP/2 frame sent back and forth (that would be noisy!) so we don't see what is happening at that layer.

Is there anything in the lighttpd error log around that time?

I'll try to put together some patches later today to add some additional instrumentation. I hope to have them ready for you by tomorrow morning (your timezone).

At first glance, that appears to be proper behavior.
2021-09-15 13:55:34: connections.c.1458) connection closed - keep-alive timeout: 10
After that, lighttpd will have sent GOAWAY to the client, marking stream id:277 as the last handled request, so when stream id:279 comes in, lighttpd will parse the HPACK and then discard the new request (see end of h2_recv_headers())

Updated by gstrauss about 3 years ago

Some additional patches which might help your tracing. There are all optional and for testing only. The patch to log_buffer_prepare() adds a high-precision timestamp. lighttpd sends SETTINGS to client at the beginning of a new connection.

It looks like there is a short period of time after lighttpd decides to close the idle connection, and during which new data can arrive on the connection, before lighttpd sends GOAWAY. Since lighttpd read the new stream request, it sends a RST_STREAM, which the browser might not retry. Please try this, which may result in lighttpd sending GOAWAY with the previous stream id (in the example it would be 71) before reading and then having to send RST_STREAM for the PUT in id 73. Chrome should then resend that request.

Great! Thank you very much for your time and persistence in helping track this down.

This tightens up the code a bit, which was not expecting to have a short race receiving data after a read timeout. After all, the read idle timer (measured in seconds) expired!

These patches will be on lighttpd git master shortly, and will be part of lighttpd 1.4.60, expected to be released this month.


BTW, you might want to double-check your FastCGI backend and how it handles reading errors or truncated reads, e.g. unexpected EOF. Before the above patch, lighttpd may have started the connection to your FastCGI backend, but then aborted by closing the connection. Your FastCGI probably read EOF and got 0 bytes, and if you looked in your read buffer for the FastCGI id without checking that you at least read enough bytes to fill the FastCGI header, the buffer would contain whatever garbage was previously there.

Thanks for your tip about my FastCGI backend. You where correct about a random byte was checked when the connection was closed.
