Chrome network error · -312 · HTTP
ERR_UNSAFE_PORT
Chromium's description
Attempting to load an URL with an unsafe port number. These are port numbers that correspond to services, which are not robust to spurious input that may be constructed as a result of an allowed web construct (e.g., HTTP looks a lot like SMTP, so form submission to port 25 is denied).
Chrome shows it as net::ERR_UNSAFE_PORT, error -312. puppeteer and Playwright report the same name when a page fails to load in Chromium.
ERR_UNSAFE_PORT in the screenshot API
When the page itself fails to load with ERR_UNSAFE_PORT, the API answers 502 with the message The target website could not be loaded (ERR_UNSAFE_PORT). (target_unreachable). Not billed.
Only the page's own load can fail a render. An image, script or frame of the page that fails with a network error does not: the page is captured as the browser shows it without that resource.
