Server not responding

[martinren]

Hello everyone,

Some time ago I've been working in my home automation system with HomeGenie.
Almost from the beginning I have the same problem: The web server randomly fails to respond to the clients.

To be clearer, I recorded a video (https://youtu.be/NkMyL26s6o0) which shows first, a Google Chrome trying to access the HomeGenies site, and on the right side of the screen you can see a Wireshark to monitor connections. As you can see, when I ask for an image, or for the entire site, it sometimes respond,and sometimes not. What is interesting, is that there is a “keep alive” packet on the connection, even when the server is not working Ok. Also, I permanently have the “Event stream” connect/disconnect message.

I have reinstalled the software on different computers, used different IP and Ports, and the result is the same: Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Right now I'm using Windows 10 (Spanish).

Reviewing the Log of HomeGenie, nothing appears abnormal. I show a fragment:

Can anybody help me with this trouble, at least letting me know what test I can do to find the problem? Has anyone gone trough this?

Guys, is this happening just to me?

Could anyone please try loading the following image on your server, and reloading it a couple of times? Is the server always responding?

http://YOURHOMEGENIEIP:YOURHOMEGENIEPORT/hg/html/pages/control/widgets/homegenie/generic/images/icons/printer.png

In my case, the server responds one time every two queries

The image reloads every time.

The image has problem loading for me too. The issues with web server probably only affects people who runs Homegenie on Windows. I have to clear cache every other time to get homegenie to load.

Same problem here.
I think it's a Chrome related problem. I've tried on IE and the issue doesn't seem to appear.

I have tried and you are right. The problem is mainly with Chrome.
Anyone running HG on a RPI or Linux could try the behaviour when loading the image from Chrome and Edge?

It's working for me with Win10 + Edge

So, does anyone know if this is a confirmed bug? Should we report it somewhere?
