I've been facing this error since a lot of months now though it has been occurring annoyingly very often during last few days.

408 Request Time-out
Your browser didn't send a complete request in time.

I'm using Google Chrome on a Windows Server 2008 machine and have a fairly stable internet connection. Never seen this error on any other website.

What actually causes this error and is something wrong on my end?

    I'm getting the same error on github.com, but only with Internet Explorer 11 from time to time. Never had it on SO - not with any browser. Also I don't know your case, but in my case the whole thing appears within milliseconds, so it's not like a long timeout.

  • Mario stackoverflow replies average ~300ms if I ping, and displays that quickly when it does. Actually it shows timeout error also within milliseconds.

  • I've run into this issue on Github and SO when there's a proxy server between me and the sites.
