Issue 89: Error 2 (net::ERR_FAILED): Unknown error.

There are a number of causes for this problem that are external to
Chromium. If you are seeing this
error you should investigate the following:
1. Do you have an Anti-Virus software package that blocks applications
from reaching the network.
Vista's built in firewall and most modern firewall/virus software does this
for you. Unfortunately,
many of them don't recognize Google Chrome yet so you need to manually
allow the exception. Some users
have noticed that to get the proper behavior from their virus software they
had to uninstall the
browser, remove the rule in the virus software, and then reinstall and
allow network access the first
time they launch the browser.
2. Do you have a hardware firewall that needs to be configured? Some
users have routers or proxy
servers that need to be configured to allow Chrome to access the network.
3. Is your machine infected with malware? There are some malware
infestations that try to redirect
your browser to a site they control. These infestations don't recognize
Chrome so they do the wrong
thing. In other words, the malware is trying to hijack Chrome but fails
and the result is Chrome
thinking it can't get to the network.
This error, "Error 2 (net::ERR_FAILED): Unknown error." is reported when
Chrome did everything it was
required to do to get access to the network and it failed. This is very
early in the process of
talking to a web server so it probably has nothing to do with the web
server.
The issues around submitting large forms is being tracked in a different
bug.
I am going to leave this open so people can find it. However, in versions
of Chrome before we have the
new http stack (we currently rely on a stack provided by the OS) there is
little we can do to improve
the feedback about the problem when it happens.
