Question Brotli compression may not be supported over HTTP connections

I get this error when executing my webgl build in Chrome.

Unable to parse Build/SampleScene.framework.js.br!
If using custom web server, verify that web server is sending .br files with HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br". Brotli compression may not be supported over HTTP connections. Migrate your server to use HTTPS.

I'm using a custom server (well, paid server) using http. Should I actually move to Https?... how to disable this?

 

Hey, did you get WebGL builds to work at all? :O

 

If you intend to continue using Brotli you should move to HTTPS as it's required on many hosts of not all.

If not, you can switch to GZip. But again, highly recommend using HTTPS from the getgo - or if you're stuck on HTTP & just want to quick test, use uncompressed for DEV.

 

Yep, I just generated the build with Unity 2020. It just doesn't work in 2021, for whatever reason.

 

Is there a valid reason for choosing HTTP over HTTPS in your situation? Just trying to figure out why anyone would choose that for anything unity related - it sounds like you should be moving to HTTPS

 

Can't speak for OP but some local servers require more configs than just 'plug & play' to be https. Notably local self-signed certificates.

In short, it's just faster to setup HTTP vs HTTPS for dev...

 

The reason is the certificate. You have to pay for the certificate an extra amount per year that I don't want to pay for. It's just my personal website.

 

Try https://letsencrypt.org.

 

I was facing the same Error code while running my Webgl build over local server using Xampp.
To fix this issue go to files>build settings>player settings>Publishing settings and from there just turn on "Decompression Fallback" option and create a webGL build again and it should work properly over local server or any server you will upload your project , thanks

 

Thanks

 

hey it worked you can either turn on "Decompression" or chnge brotli to Gzip

 

You can use https://certbot.eff.org to install a certificate and enable https on your website, but:

The Brotli/GZIP compression is broken to me no matter what I try

 

I've tried to run via:

Code (Shell):

1.  
2. % http-server --brotli --gzip .
3. Serve GZIP Files: true
4. Serve Brotli Files: true
5.  

Despite npm http-server supports both compressions, it failed to load.

Thanks it worked
