Question

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

Deactivated User · Answer

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 · Answer

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

Deactivated User · Answer

do you have a stacktrace

Nikky · Answer

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

Deactivated User · Answer

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 · Answer

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

Nikky · Answer

i will go back to standalone netty

Deactivated User · Answer

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

Nikky · Answer

``` 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

slightly smiling face

Deactivated User · Answer

that s with tomcat right

Deactivated User · Answer

or with Netty

Nikky · Answer

that was still using tomcat

Nikky · Answer

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

Nikky · Answer

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

Nikky · Answer

so yes it works in netty

Nikky · Answer

and in tomcat all html builder responses are just empty

Deactivated User · Answer

other responses work fine

Nikky · Answer

other reponses i use are redirect and JSON

Nikky · Answer

and they work

Nikky · Answer

well i use this a lot `ApplicationCall respond message Any `

Deactivated User · Answer

and that one works fine

Deactivated User · Answer

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

Deactivated User · Answer

does it fail without nginx as reverse proxy

Deactivated User · Answer

though it should because nginx acts as a normal http client

Nikky · Answer

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 · Answer

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

Nikky · Answer

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

Deactivated User · Answer

uhm that s strange then

Nikky · Answer

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 · Answer

and not all my html builders had stylesheets either
