Can't upload files to github - HTTP ERROR 400, crbug/1173575

I'm trying to upload some images to my github repo. In Firefox and Firefox developer edition, I'm getting a blank screen after I click "Commit changes", with an error in the console:
The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.
In Chrome and in Edge, I get a mostly blank page with:
This page isn’t working. If the problem continues, contact the site owner. HTTP ERROR 400
And in the console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()
VM9:7146 crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated.
I can't find any information about what might be causing this and it doesn't seem to be happening to anyone else - it was working fine this morning, but is now failing in all browsers.
Edit: This is happening in both my Github accounts, so is not account specific.

Favicon not showing when I send the link in a text message, WhatsApp, iMessage, etc

I have a site in webflow. I password protected the entire site. Webflow redirects you to the 401 page to enter the password.
The problem is when I text someone the link it shows as a broken or invalid link resulting in my favicon not showing with the link.
When you click the link it actually works but it reads as a /401 page instead of the homepage. Im trying to avoid creating my own password protection when webflow has it already built.
I attached a screenshot below showing me text my link to myself then I resent it after I removed the password protection and my favicon showed up.

Error 404 not correct work

I have some problem with work web-page 404.
Error 404 to the second level of links works fine, but when typing a link above the 3rd level (see screenshot), the web page is not displayed correctly.
For example enter link description here
The settings were made through the hosting panel by simply turning on and indicating the 404 error page.
The support team answers that this is a problem on the part of the developer.

How to findout more about 404 error from Github pages?

I have created a simple web page on GitHub and here is the url. I am now using fiddler to load it, and every time I load the page, I get a 404 error as well as a successful connection and download of the page, and I do not know why I get the 404 error. When I am logged into GitHub, and click on the clone button of my repo, the url is: https://github.com/InfosecureIT/InfosecureIT.github.io.git
How can I know what file the GitHub server is referring to when it says file can not be found?
# jpvillaisaza - Sure, the error is 404 file not found. is a picture, which would describe the error better.
The error you're getting is related to a missing favicon.ico file. Even though your HTML code doesn't specify a favicon, browsers can request it and display an error. This shouldn't be a problem with loading everything else, but you might want to either add a favicon picture, which will probably be better for your site, or find a way to avoid the favicon request (see How to prevent favicon.ico requests?, for example).

Facebook linter returns “Error parsing input URL” although most info shows up if FB button is activated

I’m trying to troubleshoot a specific behavior. The last entry I wrote on a WordPress blog returns no data when run through Facebook’s Object Debugger (linter). I just get a “Error Parsing URL:Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped.”
However, if I try with any previous post, all seems to be fine: the linter scrape the page correctly;
If the Facebook button under the problematic entry is clicked, a snippet is correctly produced, except for a thumbnail of the image: permalink, summary, all is correct.
When I examined the source code of for the permalink entry in my browser, I can see all tags correctly displayed, even the og:image tag (the URL is valid).
This is sudden behavior. I didn’t experience any problem since I setup Facebook Open Graph protocol on my blog.
P.
Got it. Sometime between the time I created my previous entry and the time I wrote the new one, the CDN (content delivery network) I’m running me blog through stopped working.
Facebook linter wasn’t happy because it couldn’t find the image (since the image wasn’t distributed through the CDN: the CDN handles media, not plain text, that’s why Facebook was still able to scrape title, summary, etc.).
Lesson learned: when running test with Facebook Object Debugger, first disable any cache system (or make sure it works properly) or it may impact the results.
