ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH when loading audio - html

I've been trying to get background music working for my browser-based game. It's working great, but in Chrome I frequently have the music cut short and this error appears:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH
I watched the Network tab and saw the audio file being loaded as it should be, with the 206 Partial Content status, until it hit that error and just stopped.
Reloading the page will usually yield the same result, but at a different point in the track. I have yet to encounter this problem in IE, it seems to only be Chrome that's affected.
Any suggestions as to what may be happening?
Example request/response:

Increasing Apache's timeout setting fixed it.
Basically Chrome was being "too clever" by only downloading fast enough to keep just ahead of the buffer, and Apache was getting bored.

Website refuses headless chrome connections

Im trying to implement simple scraper, however I encoutered some problem. Somehow website is refusing connections from headless chrome. This is first and the only request, there is no any javascript execution. Requests from normal chrome works well so it's definitly not a banned ip. What can be wrong here? How are they posibly detecting it?
I'm running normal headless chrome and then I replace user agent, that's all.

#RobertHarvey: Yes, you are correct: sending Accept-Language is a must for some websites. You can either do it with puppeteer via their API, or with chrome-remote-interface by intercepting requests and adding header directly.

Concatenated many MP3 files together into 1 big file, but only the first one is played in Google Chrome (Firefox plays entire file)

So I'm just trying to play my mp3 through an HTML5 player - (just going to this URL in Chrome will do that):
https://orator.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/zenhabits.net.unsolved.mp3
It works in Firefox (plays all the way through), but it only plays the first 90 seconds in Chrome and then stops (I can't even resume playing).
[Edit 4/27/18 - The underlying issue is that I'm appending MP3 files together - it plays fine in media players except in Google Chrome, I've fixed up how to merge mp3s together properly and now it plays properly in Chrome]
[Pls ignore the rest of this - it was not a Range issue as I initially suspected]
Upon some inspection of the GET headers, I see that Chrome sends the "Range:" header (which causes a 206 response), but Firefox doesn't (it gets a 200 OK response).
Do I have to do something on the Azure blob storage to ignore this header? Or is there a better fix?

I appreciate any insight into this.

Unfortunately, it seems a compatibility for the Chrome browser for HTML5 video.
I also find a similar issue here . Currently, if possible you could use the Firefox or Microsoft Edge as a work around.

How does browser determine the Accept header?

So I have this web-page in my local:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample "Hello, World" Application</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="images/tomcat.gif">
</td>
<td>
<h1>Sample "Hello, World" Application</h1>
<p>This is the home page for a sample application used to illustrate the
source directory organization of a web application utilizing the principles
outlined in the Application Developer's Guide.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>To prove that they work, you can execute either of the following links:
<ul>
<li>To a JSP page.
<li>To a servlet.
</ul>
</body>
</html>
And when I trace my HTTP Requests and Responses I will see:
GET /sample/ HTTP/1.1

and second request is made for the image:

Why is the browser sending a Accept: image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
When I click on the image itself and open it in new tab the request will be sent as:

Why is the second request has many more values in Accept header but in the first case it is different?
It's essentially a historical record of formats that browser manufacturers wanted to make it easy to identify support for.
As Grice points out, these all include */* and so accept anything; the specified formats are just preferences.
In at least one case:
Accept: image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
is simply a special case to promote the uptake of WebP. Modify Accept header to explicitly denote the image formats Chrome supports:
As part of promoting the adoption of WebP, it would be useful if Chrome more explicitly indicated the image formats it supports in the Accept header. Currently it just returns */*, but this makes it difficult for servers to know whether it's safe to return WebP images in lieu of JPEG or not
As Chrome clearly accepts PNG, JPEG and GIF as well, making WebP a special case is simply an attempt to encourage specific support for a preferred format. Likewise, the special case for application/xhtml+xml made a lot of sense when trying to encourage wider use of XHTML.

Browser is not caching images in HTTPS (HTTP works fine). Even with Cache-Control: public

I'm trying to follow Google's caching recommendation, but neither IE nor Chrome are caching my images when HTTPS is used. The second request is not even a conditional GET. If I simply switch to HTTP, it works fine.
Here's request information, according to Chrome's request logger:
Remote Address: ::1:443
Request URL: https://localhost/getmyimage.php?id=123

i think this is happening because of the url format, you can use apache's mod_rewrite to make a url format for images given by this script to look like localhost/image/123.png
EDIT
after reading your comment, i can say that it's not about your server's config, you can't do anything about it according to this and this because of HTTPS implementations since you have Cache-control: public set already.

Chrome does not make additional request for seeking video file

I try to achieve pseudo streaming, I have html like so:
<video src="GetVideo.ashx?id=mp4" controls></video>
after loading page Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m sends request (even before clicking play):

File starts to play after clicking play, but the problem is if i try to seek to yet not downloaded part, it does not send additional request for that part, it simply waits until file is downloaded upon specified position.
When I do the same in Firefox 22.0:
first request (after page loading):

IE 10 is working in the same way as Firefox.
What response header Chrome expects to be able to behave in the same way - to make addtional requests after seeking to not-downloaded part?
It turned out response header was correct.
The problem was I was using video file with small length and chrome appears to have some kind of optimization not sending additional request if difference in time is too small (less then 30 seconds or so).
