Incomplete responses

After upgrading from version 0.7.0 to 0.9.0, I started getting incomplete responses from Redbird. This happened when Redbird was proxying responses that had transfer-encoding "chunked". I haven't examined the problem in detail, but it disappeared as soon as I downgraded to version 0.7.0 again.

I recently tried upgrading to 0.9.1 again, and the problem reappeared. My ajax requests then starts failing once in a while because just parts of the json that is sent from the server, is received. This seems to only be happening when I send compressed content using http2 - and it only happens in newer versions of Redbird. Disabling compression on the server, seems to fix the problem again.

I suspect that these may be related issues:
#225 and #231

Does anyone else see these problems?

Yes I do have the same issues. I had to disable http2 and gzip compression... Unfortunately, redbird does not seems to be upgraded anymore. Maybe should we fork it ?

I like Redbird, but it has a lot of small problems. I've spent quite an amount of time trying to find work arounds for some of them. In the end I figured it was much easier to just set up nginx with certbot for letsencrypt certificates. So I did - and I found that this was quite easy to set up, and it has worked flawlessly since.

Do you have a link that explains how to setup nginx and certbot ? I mean with automatic renew of certificates, etc.

Thx for your feedback

same here with React Next.js and express on version 0.10.0 setting httpv2 flag to true will break the webpage load due to corrupt chunk files , downgrading to version 0.7.0 fixes the issue but at the install time i got a warning -> Hey! Lets'Encrypt will STOP WORKING with Greenlock v2 at the end of October
