Unexpected EOF with rest-server

Getting Help
1

I was trying to restore something on the order of 20GB from a repo behind the rest-server on a very slow connection, and I kept getting errors like this that would eventually stop the restore:

kyle@localhost:~$ restic -v -r rest:http://rest-server.url/ -p restic/pass
word.txt restore --target restic_restore --host other-hostname latest

But it seems like I’m not encountering the same issue with a combination of restic mount and rsync. Any idea why that’s happening?

This looks like restore: Correctly handle partial pack download errors by MichaelEischer · Pull Request #3449 · restic/restic · GitHub . You could try whether a beta build of restic solves the issue for you. These are available at restic beta releases (/) or you can build restic yourself.

Or you could try whetherGODEBUG=http2client=0 helps as suggested in Corrupted restore when restoring over HTTP2 · Issue #3439 · restic/restic · GitHub .
