SSL error: tlsv1 alert protocol version / unsupported protocol / no protocols available

Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded)
Docker couldn’t reach the registry in time — a network, DNS, proxy or firewall problem between your machine and the registry.

Windows can’t resolve Microsoft’s server names — DNS, hosts file, proxy or firewall problems.

Two steps away (36)
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432
Nothing is listening at that host:port — the target service is down or you’re connecting to the wrong address.
HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required
A proxy between you and the server requires credentials before it will forward your request.
HTTP 408 Request Timeout
The server closed the connection because the client took too long to send the complete request.
API Request Timed Out (ETIMEDOUT / ReadTimeout / timeout of 30000ms exceeded)
The client gave up waiting — either for the connection to open or for the response to arrive.
Error: socket hang up / read ECONNRESET
The other side closed the TCP connection abruptly while your client was still using it.
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND host / Name or service not known
DNS lookup for the hostname failed — the name is wrong, doesn’t exist, or this machine can’t resolve it.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
`JSON.parse()` / `response.json()` received something that isn’t JSON — very often an HTML error page.
CORS Error: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present
The browser blocked a cross-origin request because the server’s response didn’t include the CORS headers allowing your site’s ori…
SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED / unable to get local issuer certificate
The client couldn’t verify the server’s TLS certificate chain, so it refused the HTTPS connection.
Mixed Content: The page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource
An HTTPS page tried to load a script, API or image over plain HTTP, and the browser blocked (or warned about) it.
CLEARTEXT communication to host not permitted by network security policy
Android 9+ blocks plain `http://` requests by default; the app tried to call a non-HTTPS URL.
App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP resource load
iOS blocked an `http://` request (or a weak-TLS HTTPS one) because App Transport Security requires secure connections.
error: RPC failed; HTTP 400 curl 22 / curl 92 HTTP/2 stream was not closed cleanly — the remote end hung up unexpectedly
A large HTTPS push/clone broke mid-transfer — size limits, proxies or flaky HTTP/2.

A clone or fetch was cut off mid-transfer.

ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
Outbound SSH on port 22 is blocked (firewall, corporate or public Wi-Fi).
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
The SSH connection was closed before the handshake — server overload, rate limiting, or a proxy/firewall interfering.
java.net.UnknownHostException: api.example.com
DNS resolution failed for the hostname.
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
The remote side closed the TCP connection abruptly while Java was reading or writing.
net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED (This site can't be reached — server IP address could not be found)
DNS couldn’t resolve the hostname in the browser.
net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
The browser cancelled the request — often because it returned an error (404) or the page navigated away.

A fetch was cancelled through an AbortController (or the browser cancelled it).

The block editor saved via the REST API but got HTML or an error page back — broken permalinks, a security plugin/WAF, or PHP out…
Error [ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE]: Premature close
A stream ended or was destroyed before it finished — often a client disconnect or upstream aborting a download.
TypeError: fetch failed (cause: ConnectTimeoutError / ECONNREFUSED / UND_ERR)
Node’s built-in fetch (undici) couldn’t complete the request; the real reason is in error.cause.
WordPress: Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.
An update was interrupted and WordPress left its `.maintenance` file behind, so the site stays in maintenance mode.
