To troubleshoot this error, follow these steps:

  1. Inspect request headers: Review the headers in your request. Ensure that they are correctly formatted and adhere to the HTTP standard
  2. Validate UTF-8 encoding: Confirm that all request headers, especially cookie values, are valid UTF-8 strings. Non-UTF-8 characters in headers, particularly in the cookie header, often cause this error
