Truncated large responses from node server

[spsDrop]

Please use the following bug reporting template to help produce actionable and reproducible issues. Please try to ensure that the reproduction is minimal so that the team can go through more bugs!

• A brief description
  When ever I try to load a large transpiled js file from a node server for either of my two projects, they are truncated randomly.

• Expected results

get served the entire file

• Actual results (with terminal output if applicable)

Thanks @Soljin for reporting this! It sounds a lot like a specific example of #610 to me. (#610 uses a Python server, but I've seen the same thing with a node server as well.) Does that look familiar to you as well?

[fpqc]

Any reason you don't want to use 14959? Just curious.

[spsDrop]

@aseering Yeah, I've seen this error from Chrome as well. net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH. But I don't always see it.

@fpqc I've gotten some very unstable builds from the fast ring in the past few months and switched back to slow for stability.

@sunilmut this seems like a pretty critical bug that has gone unfixed for a long time. This is preventing me from using windows as my dev box.

Is there any chance this will get fixed? And if so do you have any idea when?

[sunilmut]

@Soljin - Apologize for the delay in responding. I am actively working on a fix for #610 and #616 and will double check if it also resolves this issue or not. But, the fixes are not trivial and so I can't give you any ETA at the moment. I will also validate whether the fix for #610 also fixes this issue. Stay tuned and thanks for trying out WSL!

[spsDrop]

@sunilmut that is great news. I'm looking forward to your fix!

[sunilmut]

Please try this on 15002 and let us know if the issue persists. We have fixed a few bugs related to inconsistent data transfer on TCP sockets in 15002.

Almost certainly #610. Closing until proven otherwise.
