Safari is unable to play video media due to incorrect Content-Length header

    • Closed Issue created by Legiayayana @legiayayana

    What happened?

    Video requests hang indefinitely and time out. This behavior is exhibited on Curl as well.

    Causing Safari to re-request the video until it eventually rate limits.

    What did you expect to happen?

    The video media being returned.

    Version 2024.9.3

    Instance zoner.work

    What type of issue is this?

    Backend request handling

    What browser are you using? (Client-side issues only)

    Safari

    What operating system are you using? (Client-side issues only)

    macOS Sonoma

    Additional Diagnostics

    Safari requests a byte range of 2 bytes. Range: bytes=0-1 Chrome and Firefox request an arbitrary byte range (Range: bytes=0-)

    Minimal curl:

    curl 'https://zoner.work/files/webpublic-8ee66223-9f38-4732-86b9-2b86dfbfa0dc' -H 'Range: bytes=0-1'

    Same behavior is displayed on other sharkey instances. It is uncertain if it also happens on upstream misskey

    2 bytes correctly get sent, however curl will attempt to request the remaining bytes indicating a Content-Length/Content-Range error.

    headers:

    content-range: bytes 0-1/1515271
accept-ranges: bytes
content-length: 1515271

    Content-Length should be 2
