Content Encoding Error when launching Kudu from App Service Editor

Question

Getting "Content Encoding Error" when launching Kudu from App Service Editor

Answer 1

DwightSands-7291, To better assist you on this, what is the app framework that you’re working on (Dotnet, PHP, Node, Java, etc)? Do you recall making any changes prior to the issue happening?

Does the error appear upon clicking on “Open Kudu Console” from App Service Editor or navigating to Kudu Console?

--As a test, you may try to access Kudu Console directly via:

1. Navigate to the Kudo console at https://yoursitename.scm.azurewebsites.net.
2. From the Azure Portal, access your WebApp “Advanced Tools” blade and then “Go->”.

--On my test site, I’m ‘Open Kudu Console’ fine via App Service Editor. (screenshot below)

--You could capture a network trace via F12 developer tools in the browser to fetch more details on the error.

--Also, review the web.config/and Content Type:
"Content-Type: application/json"

Checkout these docs for more info.

-- If feasible (if you have tried), you may consider restart the WebApp and then test.
Also, please post a screenshot after concealing any private details.
