Requests to container URIs results in an error

Expected behavior

Accessing resources served by flask app in the container should return files consistently 100% of the time instead of breaking the connection and resulting in errors randomly popping up.

Actual behavior

Files get corrupted / connections breaks (?) and aren’t served successfully resulting in net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH.

backend:
Error on request: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/dev/opt/dev_virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 192, in run_wsgi execute(self.server.app) File "/dev/opt/dev_virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 183, in execute write(data) File "/dev/opt/dev_virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 151, in write self.send_header(key, value) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/BaseHTTPServer.py", line 401, in send_header self.wfile.write("%s: %s\r\n" % (keyword, value)) IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Unfortunately I don’t have an isolated use case because it happens a bit arbitrarily with main project and my attempts at isolation (small flask app) were unsuccessful.

Files are being served with flask’s dev server and on the server side I am getting:

Error on request: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/dev/opt/dev_virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 192, in run_wsgi execute(self.server.app) File "/dev/opt/dev_virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 183, in execute write(data) File "/dev/opt/dev_virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 151, in write self.send_header(key, value) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/BaseHTTPServer.py", line 401, in send_header self.wfile.write("%s: %s\r\n" % (keyword, value)) IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

while on the front end I am seeing GET http://localhost:8080/... net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH. It happens with requests to CSS and JS files, it happens to JSON data requests, etc.

I can confirm that this doesn’t happen neither when using our app in vagrant and nor with docker-machine (but that hasn’t been independently verified by me but reported by another developer), and it is reproducible by another developer using docker for mac so it’s not a problem isolated to my machine. It might be relatated to our docker configuration but AFAIK we don’t have anything that exotic, and if docker-machine works I don’t see it related to our dockerfile (but could be wrong).

At the moment I have no reliable way to reproduce except that with main container this happens often but not consistently enough (on a single resource, it happens on nearly every page load with one resource) to allow easy reproduction.

Experiencing exactly the same as described above. This affects docker containers imported from docker-machine which work properly in that environment, never experienced this issue before.
