[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#862752: chromium: 404 pages can't be found

[Emmanuel Revah]

Package: chromium
Version: 57.0.2987.98-1~deb8u1
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer

Dear Maintainer,


It appears that Chromium does not let me see 404 pages sent from certain
websites. I've tested using the same website with Firefox, I get the usual 404
header with the website's 404 page.

With Chromium I do not, I get Chromium's own error page "No webpage was found
for the web address:".

I've checked settings and plugins and I've launched Chromium with a clean
profile and unchecked "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors",
yet I still don't receive the server's result.

I found one thing that does work: DevTools. Indeed, with devtools open I can
see the server's 404 page as I should.
