Problem Description
What I'm trying to do
I am running a Java EE application on GlassFish 7 and want to enable HTTPS on port 8443 using a self-signed certificate with proper Subject Alternative Names (SAN) set for my server IPs and localhost.
What I observed
Firefox: Works perfectly — all assets load successfully over HTTPS
Chrome: Fails with ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR on every static file after the initial HTML
curl with --http2: Returns HTTP/2 200 for individual files
curl with --http1.1: Works fine for all files
The issue is specific to Chrome's HTTP/2 implementation against GlassFish 7
Adding http2-enabled="false" to domain.xml fixes the issue but disables HTTP/2
Questions
Is this a known bug in GlassFish 7's HTTP/2 implementation with Chrome?
Is there any GlassFish 7 configuration to make HTTP/2 work correctly with Chrome and a self-signed cert without disabling HTTP/2 or adding a reverse proxy?
Is there something specific about how Chrome handles HTTP/2 stream multiplexing that GlassFish 7 doesn't implement correctly?
Steps to reproduce
Steps to Reproduce
- Set up a GlassFish 7 server domain.
- Configure an HTTPS listener on port 8443 using a self-signed SSL certificate.
- Enable HTTP/2 on the HTTPS listener.
- Deploy a web application that includes static assets (e.g., JavaScript, CSS, images).
- Open the application in Google Chrome using the HTTPS URL (port 8443).
- Open Developer Tools → Network tab.
- Reload the page.
- Observe that while the main HTML may load, static assets fail with:
- ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Impact of Issue
The Problem
After all the above steps, navigating to https://localhost:8443/VHIS/ in Chrome, the first HTML page loads but all subsequent static asset requests fail with:
GET https://localhost:8443/VHIS/assets/vendor/js/jquery.core.js net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
GET https://localhost:8443/VHIS/assets/vendor/js/bootstrap.min.js net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
GET https://localhost:8443/VHIS/assets/shared/js/vhis.js net::ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
... (all JS and CSS files fail with same error)
