http error 400 - invalid request

[kathiemt]

Visiting the site at https://www.bsbc.org.au I'm getting a strange error message on Firefox but on other browsers the site is viewing fine. I haven't as yet, found a fix and am hoping someone here might know the answer please.

https://snag.gy/62vDEl.jpg shows you what I'm seeing. How do I fix this please as it appears to be a Firefox issue not a website issue.

Thank you.

Confirmed.

No idea why?

Works in SeaMonkey 2.53 (like FF 56).

I'd think it's time to get on the phone & call them & say, what's up?

Call them & maybe they'll provide some divine intervention .

I am the developer of the website and I've also spoken to the hosting service and they suggested I contact Mozilla.

Ok, so I'm stuck? There is no-one I can ask about this at all that can help?

[DanRaisch]

No, I'll move this to our Web Development forum where some folks may be able/willing to take a look at your code and offer suggestions.

Also take a look at this review of the site's code from the W3C HTML validator -- http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?u ... nformance#

I can open the page in Firefox 52 ESR but not in Firefox 67. There the tech support info says "Your web browser's request contained inconsistent data."

Firefox 52 (32-bit):

TE: Trailers

I don't know whether that last bit could be the culprit. I don't understand what it's for: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/TE

Nor do I. Thank you. I've just heard that Firefox is updating today so I might wait till after that and hopefully resolved. The site was viewing fine till about 3 days ago and then suddenly this Firefox issue and no idea why.

[jscher2000]

The TE: Trailers bit started being sent in Firefox 62, so if Firefox 62-66 were okay for you, that's probably not the issue.

If you want to test Firefox 60 ESR as a data point, you can use the PortableApps version: https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/ ... rtable-esr

network.http.spdy.enabled.http2=false enables to access the site.

FF 61 works, so you might be right about that TE bit (whatever that is, means).
