In our application hosted on GAE (Java), I am intermittently getting the ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED error, for a few static files (css, json, etc). The Network tab in the browser usually shows 0 Bytes for the file for which the decoding failed.
It is more predominant in HTTPS mode, and very few times in the http mode. The Logging section of app engine console doesn't provide much information. It does log the requests for the static file accesses, but nothing more than that. The logging shows different numbers for each requests, and 0 bytes on a lot of requests.
Is there something that we are doing wrong with respect to static files + https?
