Dear Matt,

Can you please let me know what is the status of this bug? I sow you
assigned the bug??
In any case, I can’t use the chrome due to this bug. So, I moved to IE9 :-(

Do you think un-installing / installing can help ? any other solution ?

IN ANY CASE THIS IS NOT A CONNECTION PROBLEM!!

Dudi

PS: If I press ESC or the X to stop the current operation an immediately
load the same page again it works instantly.
We ´ve got a very fast connection here with 100down/5up MBit and a second
computer with chrome doesn´t have this issue.

But therefor all of my computers and notebooks with coolnovo which are
synchronized have the same issue here at home and in my office.

I have similar issues, 17.0.963.56, just on https pages. First visit to a
new https will nearly always time out with this error, immediate reload
always works. Browser session stays up days at a time and doesn't seem
related. FWIW I haven't observed this on the mac. Prediction
service/predict network actions are both off.

Reply to mme...@google.com, Feb 21, 2012:

Seems to be the CoolNovo / ChromePlus version. With chrome I had the error
one or two times but this could had have another reason.
With CoolNovo 2.1.40 which came out recently the error didn´t appear
anymore as far as I can say for now.

Still happens in chrome 18.0.1025.168 (Official Build 134367)
Error happens more often with multiple tabs. Not just with SSL sites, also
with plain http sites. Reinstall of Chrome did not help. No AV or perfonal
firewall is installed (except of default Windows 7 32bit).

Comment #30 on issue 111474 by tarap...@gmail.com: Error 7
Question is whether is this network issue or starting new tab in background
issue (not necessary network related - starting process or some internal
structures locking). It is more probable to trigger the bug when opening
multiple links in background tabs.

Hi i have encountered the same problem. The problem "Error 7
(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out." is encountered when I
access https://www.bdo.com.ph/

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and Google chrome is Version 20.0.1132.57.

I don't have problem accessing the website in our office.

Please see attached logs. Please let me know other information I need to
provide to fix this issue.

Thanks. :)

We should rename this bug so it's not so generic. In any case, the issue in
comment 32 sounds like it's possibly a SSL issue. I just tested and got
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED with that website.

amdrill_bautista: www.bdo.com.ph doesn't serve HTTPS, so it's not expected
to work. However, you're clearly seeing a timeout when you should get a
fast connection refused. But I'm afraid that this isn't a Chrome problem -
it looks like the TCP RSTs are getting filtered somewhere along the line.

www.bdo.com.ph may be filtering connections, possibly on a national basis.
That could also explain why you're seeing timeouts from another location.
However, if they're doing tricks like that then there's nothing we can do
I'm afraid. From the US, all IP addresses for www.bdo.com.ph have port 443
closed.

It looks like the timeout error affects certain types of sites only, for me
at least. Out of 10 refreshes of the browser for http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
I get no timeout errors but on the 3rd successive browser refresh for
http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/33-fallout-3-general-discussion/ I get a
timeout error. I get the same error on other sites also I just noticed that
it affects some types of sites for some reason.

- It is not extension related (bug occures also on clean installation with
no extensions)

- It is not SSL related, bug occures on http sites as well

- It is not network releated - bug occures on stable optical internet
connection. No other software has network errors.

I have the same issue.

This is a net-internals log when trying to load youtube.

I only get the error sometimes when refreshing the site.

Francis.S.Li: if you refresh after getting the time out, does it work
immediately?

It looks like Chrome was running for a while before the net-internals log
starts because I can't see the connection to youtube occuring. But I'm
wondering whether a NAT box in the network (i.e. a home router, or possibly
something at an ISP) is timing out the connection and dropping all packets
after a while. From Chrome's point of view it's doing nothing wrong: it
wrote the request to the network and never got a reply.

(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111474

I had this exact problem and solved it by replacing my router.

The problem I was having was:

- I would frequently, but not consistently, get Error 7:
net::ERROR_TIMED_OUT errors. (the same as in the screenshot attached by
paulajpe...@gmail.com above).

- The errors would most often happen on the same sites: Youtube, gmail,
many of the google-app sites (this one, Google groups, Google maps, etc.
Facebook would mostly work, but attempting to expand conversations would
often fail. I never had problems with most sites (Reddit, Slashdot, Google
search, etc).

- Some sites failed more constantly than others. Gmail and Google Groups
were almost unusable. Youtube would fail only 10-20% of the time.

- Once a site failed, it would consistently fail if I tried to re-load the
site -- either by hitting refresh, or by opening the same link in a new
tab. I would always have to wait awhile (maybe 30-60 seconds?) and try
again, and it would often start working.

- If the site failed in Chrome but I immediately opened the same site it in
a new browser, it would usually work. This made me assume the issue was
Chrome. (Later I switched over to Firefox, and found the issue was still
happening. I didn't keep using Firefox, so I'm not sure if it happened
more or less often)

- If the site failed and I immediately opened the site in a new incognito
window, the site would usually work.

- If the site failed and I immediately cleared the cache and refreshed the
page, the site would usually work.

- If I managed to load the page in an incognito window or another browser
and immediately tried it again in Chrome, it would still not work. I would
still get the same net::ERROR_TIMED_OUT errors for 30-60 seconds.

My home network consisted of:

Windows 7 Desktop & Ubuntu Media server plugged into a Trendnet TEW-432BRP
Wireless router. Both PCs used a wired connection (I did not use the
wireless).

I did not use the Trendnet router to do any routing. I had the internet
connection plugged into the Ubuntu machine that acted as my
firewall/gateway. It had a second network card that was plugged into the
router, along with my Windows 7 PC. The router only acted as a hub.

I never used a browser on the Ubuntu machine, and so don't know if it was
affected. I only experienced the problems on Windows 7.

I replaced the Trendnet router it with an Asus RT-N66U, and reconfigured
the network so the Ubuntu machine was no longer doing my routing. Now the
internet is plugged into the Asus router, which provides a connection to
both PCs.

Since I replaced the router, all the problems have gone away.

Hopefully this helps....

katsumi.akashi: Unfortunately, there's no single cause for this error
message, so there's no single workaround. The error code means we opened a
connection to a server, sent data (Either a request, or in the case of SSL,
possibly just our half of an SSL handshake), and never heard anything back
from the server.

The people reporting the issue are likely running into a number of
problems. One had a router that was causing it upstream, some are having
issues only with SSL, one was having problems with a third party
modification of Chromium. It's not clear what the problem is in a lot of
cases.

If you submit a network log
(http://www.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details), I'll be
happy to take a look and see if I can figure out what the specific issue
you're running into is.

Aashish.Sharma.108: Thanks for the log. I took a look at it and can't
spot anything obviously wrong, other than the fact the server never
responded. We sent out a request, size was reasonable, but the server
never responded.

I'd guess it's one of the usual suspects (connection issue causing packet
loss, server issue, or something deliberately dropping the request). The
last doesn't seem likely, in this case, since other requests to that server
worked, and the request wasn't unusual in any way. Since you're presumably
running into this issue often enough to duplicate it on demand, I assume
it's not a server issue, unless you're only running into errors with a
single server. So my guess would be a connection/networking issue, but
these issues can be very difficult to figure out, so I have little
confidence in that.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm currently investigating an issue with older versions of natd dropping
packets. Specifically for Freebsd but i'm sure other systems maybe
affected. Anyone with information on their current router setup, if it's
firmware based or software would be helpful.

hi, Any clues as to the cause of this yet? I checked most of my network
cables with a cable tester and had to replace a few. Now, the network
errors are fewer but still occur. So, it can't be be a network issue for me
(unless there are issues with hooking up a router to the main router).

I just have the main router being the virgin super hub (which is netgear)
connected to another netgear router...

I still have this problem, but at work Chrome works. So its either a Virgin
internet issue or something is wrong with my network and I have no clue as
to where to start looking into my network for issues!

I have a virgin superhub acting as a router which is connected to another
router upstairs for broader wireless coverage......

To be honest, I very rarely get blank pages/timed out in IE - but they do
ocur but in Chrome they occur very regularly, so its probably either Virgin
or my network. Trouble is I have no clue as to what to fix :(

Weird that IE doesn't give them - wonder if it's retrying aggressively on
slow responses, or getting some sort of network signals that we're
messing. What version of IE are you using?

Attached find log file with reproduced bug.

Failed to load URLs opend in background tabs with error "Error 7
(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.".

If I open more pages in background tab, this is likely to happen. It never
happens in Firefox or IE. Tested on older sigle core computer. It has not
happend on my newer 4 core notebook yet (on the same network). Behind NAT
router (ASUS RT-N12) on fast and stable fibre-connected internet.

I suspect it happens only on slow/single core computers [combined with fast
connection?] - may be some synchronization issue?

(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111474

One more observation: today I had same problem, I opened site www.zive.sk
and from it several articles in background tab. Chrome failed on most of
them and then kept failing even on page reload. BUT: after I opened other
this site and chrome://net-internals/, reload started to work on previously
failed zive.sk articles tab.

It seams that either:
- problem is cured by opening another web site
OR
- problem is less likely to occure while chrome://net-internals/ logging is
running

(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111474

tarapcik: In all those timeouts, we're reusing sockets that have been idle
for 50+ seconds.

My best guess is that an upstream device (Possibly your personal router)
silently closes old sockets after some very short timeout, and then when we
send the second request on the old socket, the same device silently
blackholes the request, rather than sending an RST (reset) message, like it
should. Since we never heard back, this results in a timeout.

Don't think there's much we can reasonably do about this. We can retry
afterall timeouts, but timeouts can take a while, resulting in pretty user
experience for requests that repeatedly result in timeouts. We can reduce
the time we keep idle sockets around, but that makes things slower for the
99.9% of users without this problem.

I'm not sure it's router bug:
- it happens to more users on different routers (OK, most are linux+busybox
based, so the bug could be present accross different vendors) but:
- it happens only on my old one core PC, newer dual/quad core notebooks
does not exhibit the bug
- no other browser has connection issues on the same PC
- no other network SW has connection issues on the same PC

To verify I did one more test to see if the bug is still present (yes it is
- attached netlog). Consequently I used putty raw connection to test:
- I sent GET / HTTP/1.1, received response
- I waited >60 seconds, to simmulate reuse of socket idle 50+ seconds
- I sent another GET / HTTP/1.1, received response
- I waited indefinetely - after aproximately 3 minutes I got
correct "Connection closed by remote host"
(log from putty attached).

So either chrome is ignoring connection close events or it opens sockets
with some strange options that some "home" routers don't handle well.

Would it help to capture network packets using wireshark?

Wireshark logs:

mmania_packetschrome - apply filter "tcp.stream eq 10" - seems, after
Keep-Alive packet the TCP stream really went "dead"

mmania_putty, mmania_firefox - seems putty and Firefox does not use
SO_KEEPALIVE

(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111474

Test on another computer (same router as above) - and it is getting TCP
Keep-Alive responses (wireshark log attached).

Conclusion: on one of the computers I do not get keep-alive responses. I
wasn't able to trace the reason (disabling windows firewall didn't help,
there is no special config for that computer's IP address in the router,
disabling router firewall did not help...)

PROPOSAL: remove SO_KEEPALIVE from socket options when connecting to web
sites. It is not necessary for http connections and it could resolve
problems with some consumer routers.

The issue in my case was caused by "Check Point VPN-1 SecuRemote" (version
NGX R60 HFA2 Build 052). I'll definitelly ask company IT guys for upgrade.

Anyway, I still suggest removing SO_KEEPALIVE as other users reported
problem with routers and for short term http connections it is not needed
(nor used by other browsers).

SO_KEEPALIVE was actually added due to issue 27400, which was home routers
causing exactly this problem when it was not used.

Wonder if Android wakes up the radio for keepalive packets.

I think I fixed this bug :) at least for me. Basically I have an internet
connected to a router connected to another router (coverage) and my
computer is connected to the second router. I just got rid of the 2nd
router and all is fine.

no it happens with most of the people using this site (mostly from 10 am
IST to 2 pm IST), and same site load correctly in other browsers,slow but
they do load page instead of time-out.
Firefox have setting in config network.http.connection-timeout for setting
time-out.
can i change default window time-out value ?

(net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111474

That only corresponds to ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT, which is a timeout when
establishing a connection, not ERR_TIMED_OUT, which is a timeout after a
connection has been established. It also only applies when it's less than
the OS's default timeout - it does not increase the OS's default timeout.
Here's the comment from FireFox's code:

// The number of seconds after sending initial SYN for an HTTP connection
// to give up if the OS does not give up first
pref("network.http.connection-timeout", 90);

So it seems to me like something else is going on there.

laszlo.j: it looks like some of the SSL connections to the Plesk instance
are completing but, for some, Pleak simply never answers the ClientHello.

Is the problematic software running anywhere publicly accessible?

@alang: That direction can be accessed from everywhere, if that's what I am
asking. That is just an example, but happened on many websites which I
first thought that were a server issue. Happened on random servers, so
can't give some examples, because I can't remember. However, the number of
them was isolated, most of time is happening only on pages with self-signed
certificates (like control panels). I will try to find another example, but
while the address I added the log for is not working in Chrome but works in
other browsers, I guess is Chrome fault.
