[Nikky]

so i have a weird issue.. i am using ktor with tomcat and am running it with ./gradlew tomcatRun and i also have a nginx reverse proxy set up for ssl
a single endpoint where i am building html and link to a stylesheet gives a empty response

Have you tried to run standalone instead of with tomcat? Since you have a nginx doing reverse-proxy you probably won’t need tomcat at all

[Nikky]

actually everywhere where i use call.respondHtml breaks on me.. i just did not notice

[Deactivated User]

do you have a stacktrace?

[Nikky]

thats the thing its just a empty reponse and the server is not complaining at all

[Deactivated User]

and I would try Netty if you can, since it is the most tested backend, to see if it works there and reduce the issue

[Nikky]

i think it sends the data and the browser does not accept it

[Nikky]

i will go back to standalone netty

[Deactivated User]

well, try to curl/wget it to see the full response including headers

[Nikky]

⌁74% [nikky:~] % curl <https://curse.nikky.moe/api/widget/233564>     
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

okay so at least the brwoser did not lie to me

that’s with tomcat, right?

[Deactivated User]

or with Netty?

[Nikky]

that was still using tomcat

[Nikky]

now i am trying to get tomcat to shut down on my dev laptop so i can test if netty will work

[Nikky]

the damn thing just hogs the port.. kill -9 it is then

[Nikky]

so yes it works in netty

[Nikky]

and in tomcat all html builder responses are just empty

[Deactivated User]

other responses work fine?

[Nikky]

other reponses i use are redirect and JSON

[Nikky]

and they work

[Nikky]

well i use this a lot ApplicationCall.respond(message: Any)

[Deactivated User]

and that one works fine?

[Deactivated User]

So maybe it is an issue with tomcat + respondText with writter?

[Deactivated User]

does it fail without nginx as reverse proxy?

[Deactivated User]

though it should because nginx acts as a normal http client

[Nikky]

it seems to work fine.. there was one stacktrace like that but it was in my idea run dialog and i forgot to save it.. cannot reproduce either

[Nikky]

it does not fail when i connect directly to :8080 using tomcat

[Nikky]

i first suspected i hat the ports set up incorrectly or so.. but it seems to work fine with netty

[Deactivated User]

uhm, that’s strange then

[Nikky]

i am using stylesheetLink in my html builder code .. so i thought it might just try to use a css thats on a different port and my browser complains.. but thats not what happened.. there was no response at all and no errors being logged for it

[Nikky]

and not all my html builders had stylesheets either

[Nikky]

this might be interesting.. https://gist.github.com/NikkyAI/8e9e5a680f0c3dcd4666af802e2264f0

[Nikky]

in my code it errors on

> call.respondHtml {
   widget(id, version)
}

[Nikky]

that is with tomcatRunWar

[Deactivated User]

Nice. Can you create a bug report at github?

[Nikky]
