Clearing ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR

SPDY is a networking protocol that was developed by Google with the intended purpose of providing a faster web experience.  However, there are occasions when opening a page in Google Chrome that you may receive an error message, followed by:

ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR

The message may indicate that the page is not available or may have been moved to a new address, despite the fact that the address has not in-fact been changed. It is a false indication of an error.  Often the cause of the erroneous message is an internet issue (DNS, IP configuration, etc) or low-speed connection.

One method for clearing the problem is as-follows:

  1. Open a new window in the Chrome browser
  2. Enter in the address bar: chrome://net-internals/#events&q=type:SPDY_SESSION%20is:active 
    SPDY_Session_1
  3. Click on the arrow in the upper far right of the browser window, which will open a drop-down list, and select the “Flush sockets” option.
    SPDY_Session_2
  4. “Quit” the Chrome browser (all windows/tabs) and re-open.

 

If the problem persists, you may want to try using a different browser (Safari, Internet Explorer 10, etc) … although our experience has led us to strongly recommend Chrome as your default browser.

Disable the iOS ‘long-touch’ pop-up/callout

A standard behavior / ‘feature’ of iOS provides a pop-up window (‘callout’) that provides links for “Open in New Tab”, “Copy Link URL”, etc.  when a link or input element is touched and held. While handy in some cases, it is quite annoying in web-based applications where you’re trying to push a slider or interact with any touch element that requires you to hold the element down.  One of my web-apps makes use of slider elements to enter a numeric value – so when the user touched and held the slider ‘handle’, the callout would pop-up and interfere with the operation of the input element.

This behavior can be disabled quite easily thru CSS, by simply setting the -webkit-touch-callout property to “none” for the element(s) … or for the entire page.  For instance:

body {-webkit-touch-callout: none;}

will disable the callout for all elements on the page.

New DCP Partners Site

DCPPartnersHomeThe ‘cobbler’s child has gotten new shoes’ – FINALLY. After focusing all of our efforts on others’ sites and applications, it was finally time to spend a few minutes on sprucing up our own home-on-the-web. The intent of the redesign was to make things much cleaner, focus on important content, and make it easy for you to find things. We’re also providing a bit more information about our latest major project – the Marching Arts Show Tools (MAST) foundation for Marching Band, Drumline, and Color Guard competition circuits.

The new site is built on WordPress (of course!) and the Genesis Framework provides the foundation for the theme and SEO features. We tried to keep it really simple, so only made minor changes to the styling of the theme.  As needs arise, we’ll add more code-magic at a later time.

Explore the site and drop us a note on the Contact page if you have any questions or comments.

The core WordPress site went live in early May 2014, MBOS circuit Registration opens on May 21, and the MBOS circuit will be in full production for the Fall 2014 season.
