Bug #2
Updated by Vincent Rubiolo about 2 years ago
When trying to create a new app in an existing project through redpesk UI, step 3 (Choose add method) fails when selecting "# Add Sample App / Helloworld binding". Reason for failure is "408 Request Time-out" (please see attached screenshot).
# Debugging information
Gathered from various spots/sessions/conversations and centralized here:
## 2022-04-10
- with Emmanuel's machine (OpenSuse VM via Virtualbox on a Windows host)
- using his phone Wifi hotspot (Free network), application creation fails
- on the SAFT network, application creation succeeds (i.e. the problem does not occur)
- using Frederic's phone Wifi hotspot (Orange network), application creation succeeds
- with Frederic's Mac machine using the same OpenSuse VM (via Virtualbox) and the SAFT network, application creation works
Based on the information above, it looks like a particular behavior with the Free mobile network which might be filtering certain network packets when using a Wifi hotspot

Emmanuel mentions that creation via `rp-cli` works fine.
## 2022-09-22 debugging session
- with Emmanuel's machine (OpenSuse VM via Virtualbox on a Windows host) on Emmanuel's phone (Android on the Free mobile network)
- changing the Wireguard MTU to 1416 in the OpenSuse VM does not change anything
- Emmanuel mentions that he had the same issue on a native OpenSuse distribution running the Wireguard client (his own machine)
- this rules out an interaction between the VM/hypervisor in Windows and the Wireguard client
- project creation uses a `PUT` request and fails (request size = 1089 bytes, as shown via `curl -w '%{size_request} %{size_upload}'`
- editing the user's profile (changing the telephone number) also uses `PUT` but does _NOT_ fail
- reducing the testcase to a simple `curl` invocation works fine.
Potentially to test:
- with Emmanuel's wife phone: also on the Free mobile network but with a different Android version
