[stonianua]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In 2.1.47-48 HTTP2 stopped working and resorted to 1.1 which is slow but stable. 2.1.49 - HTTP2 worked again and 2.1.50 - HTTP2 does not work again and HTTP1.1 chokes often. I tried different connections and it did not help.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

This is the same issue I’m having. I assume something happened specifically for Ukraine because a couple of my friends are facing the same issue. Please help, http1 is really slow and has a bad experience compared to http2

[stonianua]

I am also working from Ukraine and local internet issue was my first suspect but .49 update fixed the issue. I suppose Cursor can help from their end.

Hey, thanks for the report. Looks like the same issue as here: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE when creating new chat. Most users fix it temporarily by disabling HTTP/2:

• Settings → search for HTTP/2 → enable Disable HTTP/2 or in Network set HTTP Compatibility Mode to HTTP/1.1, then restart Cursor

We’re investigating it as a regression in 2.1.50. I’ll update you once there’s a fix.

My observation

[mmatiush (Max)]

I’m also from Ukraine and have the same issue.

Working with HTTP/1.1 seems to be slower and produces worse quality of code.

[stonianua]

Thanks for getting back! HTTP1.1 does not work, it breaks in the middle so Cursor literally out of order. I just wanted to make it clear.

Same issue here, i build my own VMs and i thought this has something to do with firewall or it’s a dns problem, AI chat features is not working when connected via ssh, and it was working a few hours ago, is there someone else in north Africa have same issue?

[stonianua]

No mate, it is not about geography. I also enjoyed working SSH all day until it stopped working again at night. Cursor can fix it. Based in Ukraine.

Have you found any solution to this issue? Yesterday everything was working like clockwork for me, but today, after updating Cursor to the current version (2.2.20), I started having HTTP/2 problems. Switching to HTTP/1.1 isn’t working either.

[stonianua]

No, it is going back and forth. 1.1 backup works nearly always though.

Check my last post. I found a solution.
