Anyone else seeing errors when trying to download pubs from NHQ?
Started about a month ago - multiple "failed to load PDF", etc., usually a few retries
will eventually load things, but in trying to D/L the Constitution this AM all I get
is a hot mess of broken doc.
Same thing.
It takes me a number of reloads to get the docs to open. Sometimes I just have to resort to downloading the link and opening it from my desktop. Luckily, I have some saved copies.
Its made rather maddening on my Chromebook.
this is a chrome issue. Set chrome to not open pdfs as a workaround.

I get that, but why does Chrome open PDFs from other sources?

It's not a Chrome issue - same behavior in Edge and IE, except that instead of a friendly
error it downloads the broken document and displays it.
Also, when the rest of the world works fine, and a single server doesn't, it's not a "Chrome issue".
I've had this issue across multiple sites. Firefox handles it just fine, chrome does too if you set it to just download pdfs.

Interesting solution - break your machine to accommodate a server-side issue.
Any suggestion what to do on a Chromebook?

Sure. Download the file and then open it in chrome.

If this is a server-side issue, then it is an incredibly poorly documented one.
At least one of those links you provided has comments that this is a PHP problem,
which is what it likely is, since, again, this is not only happening in Chrome,
but it is only happening on NHQ's site.

Yes, but when IE/Edge has a problem, I simply attribute that to it being IE/Edge.
I had that problem yesterday when trying to download stuff from national on Firefox.
Me too.
Attention NHQ/IT: we need to put this high on the SCR list. The list as it currently is showing on eServices does have some pretty good candidates, but fixing a problem by which line members and commanders can't access core program documentation is a REAL, immediate problem.
The current top 10:
1. Maintenance Requests and Parts Order Tracking System
2. Maintenance data on sortie page (alert if within 10 hrs of inspection)
3. SIRS Enhancements
4. Event Admin & Encampment, Registration and Payment System
5. Stand Alone Communications ICP function
6. Pilot Records Requests (bulk downloads)
7. ICS Forms - 201,210, 211,218 (electronic)
8. IG ECIM Replacement Project (pull and store data)
9. CEAP Admin
10. High Profile Missions (ID field)

It seems to be getting worse. Where it would load after a few attempt, I can't get anything to load. First noticed this problem over a week ago.
I've had this issue for a month I just that it was do to my dieing iPads hardware
Specifically, the issue seems to be that sometimes the server will send a Content-Type: text/plain header rather than the expected Content-Type: application/pdf.

Difficult to know what would cause that from the outside; some kind of misconfigured server behind a load-balancer; issue with reverse proxy caching, maybe?
With Firefox, I haven't had any problems downloading regs and pamphlets.
When trying to open CAPR 60-2 just now in Chrome:

It opens fine in IE and Firefox.

I was thinking we need to reconfigure the primary power coupling.

The dilithium crystals may need replacement?
