Provide a screenshot and describe the bug

With 0.7.3, some websites are giving ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR as the local saved result, when using any method other than mercury.

I'm not sure if this is related to an older Chrome version, or some other issue...

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Archivebox 0.7.3
2. Archive the following link with all methods:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-agriculture-seeds-rights-1.7610106


3. Only the `mercury` result should produce actual content, everything else will give the HTTP error.

To note, the page loads fine on desktop with the same version of Chrome/newer Chrome, and Firefox as well.

Did you ever figure out the cause / did this keep happening a lot?

I have never seen this error myself but I keep an eye out for it.

Hey, yes I still run into this on rare occasions... I really can't explain why it happens, but it's not all webpages. Sadly, I don't have any NEW example sites to share at the moment, but if it pops up again I'll add a new comment here with the link (I sort of forgot about this issue 🫣 ).

I can still reproduce this with the site referenced in the OP:

Small bump, another site I get this with:

https://www.costco.ca/dove-sensitive-skin-soap-bar-16-x-106-g.product.100650937.html

and in general, all Costco.ca links at the moment give me HTTP2 errors... I don't even have mercury output with costco.ca links.

https://www.costcobusinesscentre.ca/ however works fine.

It's likely a stale chrome version in the older 0.7.3 docker image if I had to guess.

If you're able to run it locally / on bare metal without docker, you can try the latest dev branch which has a ton of other improvements. (dont upgrade your main collection though, it's not stable yet)
