RST_STREAM HTTP1.1 error

Gary | Last updated: Nov 22, 2021 12:32PM UTC

Hi, I'm trying to browser a web app via the inbuilt burp browser and also Chrome (pointing at Burp as the local proxy) but am getting the below error: RST_STREAM received with error code: 0xd (Use HTTP/1.1 for the request) I've tried disabling HTTP2 in the proxy listener option and also in the project options but I'm still getting the error. Could you give me an ideas re how to prevent the error? If I browse the app directly without proxying via Burp then everything loads correctly. Thanks

Thanks for your message. Are you seeing this just with specific sites? If so and the site is publicly accessible would you be happy to email support@portswigger.net with details of the site in question? Can you also let us know which version of Burp you are using and which OS it is installed on, please?

Same error here. - site is no publicly accessible. - site uses HTTP/2 - site uses NTLMv2 authentication No issues if the site is accessed without a proxy. When the site is used with OWASP ZAP, it loads also successfully with only HTTP/1.1 requests.

Thanks for your message. From your description, it's possible that the site you are testing is telling Burp that it supports HTTP/2 and so Burp is using HTTP/2. The NTLMv2 authentication though requires an HTTP/1.1 connection. If you configure Burp so HTTP/2 is disabled, this should help. If you're trying to use Burp's embedded browser or proxy an external browser via Burp, you can disable HTTP/2 under Proxy -> Options -> Proxy Listener -> Edit -> HTTP -> Disable Support HTTP/2 If you're trying to send requests using the Repeater tool and are seeing this error you can disable HTTP/2 under Project Options -> HTTP/2 -> Default to HTTP/2 if the server support it. Please let me know if you've got any questions.

OK, I got it working... Go to Project Options > http tab > deselect "Default to HTTP/2 if server supports it.

Not sure if its related to the problem everyone else is having but for me this is caused by some types special characters ( at least {[(" ) used in HTTP headers (this is something that Param Miner does in a header guessing attack) e.g's Slotnam(ertzoyw: zwrtxqval52pwe8xp6 Slotnam[ertzoyw: zwrtxqval52pwe8xp6 Slotnam}rtzoyw: zwrtxqval52pwe8xp6 Slotnam"rtzoyw: zwrtxqval52pwe8xp6 etc Not sure if this is a server side issue or not.

When using HTTP 1.1 these result in a 400 bad request message so i guess in my case the error 'RST_STREAM received with error code: 0x1 (Protocol error detected)' just means the server sent the equivalent of a 400 response code in HTTP/2 so burp displays this message.

I'm having the same problem. Site uses HTTP2 and NTLM. I tried both disabling HTTP2 in both the Project Options and Proxy and that does not work. I look at the Response when trying to browse to the site where it prompts me to login. Before I even enter credentials, I am getting 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</h2> <h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. I know my creds are valid and I can access the site just fine if I don't have it proxied.

Thanks for your message. Can you email some screenshots of your setup and the details you have configured under User Options -> Connections -> Platform Authentication to support@portswigger.net so we can take a closer look, please?

Hi, same problem here even disabled HTTP/2 Error message: RST_STREAM received with error code: 0xd (Use HTTP/1.1 for the request) it's NTLM authentication and fine with browser but not via burp proxy please advise

Michelle, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Aug 11, 2022 08:10AM UTC

When you disabled HTTP/2 for using Burp Proxy, did you change that setting under Proxy -> Options -> Proxy Listeners -> Edit -> HTTP -> Support HTTP/2? If you send the request to Burp Repeater and test sending it via HTTP/1 (by changing the Request attributes in the Inspector), what response do you get? Do you have any extensions installed? Can you send us some screenshots of your setup and the tests to support@portswigger.net, please?

Hello, i was solving a lab in HTTP/2 request tunnelling, but when i added a CRLF character in inspector tab under request header block and after applying the change when i sent the request i got ```RST_STREAM received with error code: 0x1 (protocol error detected)``` error.I have checked 'Allow HTTP/2 ALPN override' and in project option -> http block i have HTTP/2 option checked. Please help.

Michelle, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Aug 26, 2022 07:59AM UTC

Thanks for getting in touch. Which one of the labs were you working on at the time?

Ahmet | Last updated: May 17, 2024 12:12PM UTC

In Burp Pro, navigate to Settings > Miscellaneous and check "Use HTTP/1.0 in requests to server". This way I can only pass thru the first authentication. How can I define if my authentication endpoint is such that auth.example.com:5555 Platform Authentication does not accept port notation. Could you please help me with that?

Michelle, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: May 17, 2024 01:02PM UTC

Hi Can you email support@portswigger.net with some screenshots and a few more details of what you're seeing in Burp and what you need to set up so we can help you with this?
