Question

http2 with nginx not working with Safari

Hello guys,

My https site cannot be displayed in Safari with “nsposixerrordomain:100” error. I’m running nginx 1.13.3 and Ubuntu 17.04. The site is displayed fine in other browsers and the SSL test also completes fine (A+). When I disable the http2 from server block, it displays fine in Safari.

Thanks for any useful info.

Config:

server {
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
root /var/www/domain.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

Accepted Answer

Apparently Safari doesn’t like multiple line HTTP headers under HTTP/2.

If above config has been copy and pasted right, the your HSTS header looks wrong since it opens quotes but doesn’t close it until multiple lines later. Fix that and it should work.

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. It worked! Many thanks again, Michael
