apple.com "service unavailable"

CHris Hitarori · Post by **CHris Hitarori** » 2026-03-27, 16:08

If I want to visit sub-pages of apple.com, they start loading, then get blank and display the 'service unavailable' message.

Example: https://www.apple.com/ipad/

Console says:

Code: Select all

Error: Could not find root node ID: globalheader
Error rendering page:  Error: Cancel rendering route
DOMException [SyntaxError: "An invalid or illegal string was specified"]

Pale Moon 34.1.0 Windows 11 and Macos 13.7. Works in regular Firefox.

Confirmed, but the console I get is a bit different.

DOMMatrix doesn't accept "none" as an argument; here's a Modify HTTP Response filter to replace it.

Code: Select all

[["www.apple.com",["/chunks.*\\.js$/",["new DOMMatrix(e.getPropertyValue(\"transform\"))","new DOMMatrix(e.getPropertyValue(\"transform\")===\"none\"?\"\":e.getPropertyValue(\"transform\"))"]]]]

Weird, I don't even see in the spec "none" being a valid option to DOMMatrix(), it looks like for an empty one you pass nothing... what is "none" even supposed to do?

Thank you, that's a helpful workaround.

Which spec are you looking at? In section 6.2 of Geometry Interfaces Module Level 1 (currently a Candidate Recommendation Draft in the W3C by the CSSWG) it does seem like none is a valid keyword.

Hmm.. was looking at the MDN, whatever came up in my searches for valid parameters. That site did not come up in my searches.

But even that... "If parsedValue is none, set parsedValue to a <transform-list> containing a single identity matrix."

It converts the transformList into parsedValue, that is not the parameter passed. So to me that is not passing "none" directly, transformList is what is passed as a parameter. It does not say transformList can be "none" but the parser can return "none" after processing the transformList. It says transformList can be a number of things including an empty string.

That is how I read that. You read it differently?

The way the spec draft is written, it should accept:

empty strings
the keyword none
a valid matrix definition

2. Parse transformList into parsedValue given the grammar for the CSS transform property. The result will be a <transform-list>, the keyword none, or failure.

The resulting <transform-list> is either the predefined matrix for empty strings or the matrix specified in the call. the keyword none should be passed through the parser as-is. Once that is done, the next step quoted above converts none to a <transform-list> containing a single identity matrix.

So the draft does say none is a valid keyword (and actually the only special case keyword accepted).

This should be relatively simple to fix (although I don't know off-hand what definition specifically is needed for a "single identity matrix")

Again parsedValue is what is spit out of the parser when transformList is passed to it.

My reading of it says if the parser returns "none" it should replace it with a "single identity matrix"
And transformList can be: 1) An empty string or 2) a valid matrix definition

Edit: Where in the spec text does it say "transformList" can be "none"?

transformList is a string. It's what being passed in. The spec says it can be an empty string, "none", or a valid definition.

That string is passed into the parser. The spec says "none" is valid, because the grammar for the CSS transform property explicitly states it as a valid value, which is what the parser needs to use. so if none is passed in, none will be spat out by the parser (and not a failure).

Ok, I guess I am not great at reading these things, because to me what is written doesn't say that at all.

To me the property will be none if the transform list is empty.

So if it parsed an empty list the parser would return and set it to none, not that it passed the string "none" to it, but I guess other people read it differently.

Yeah reading and interpreting specs can be a challenge. There is no such thing as a "plain english" spec when it comes to the web. it's pretty terrible.
