I also had a problem for a long time I tried everything. It helped me to go on the road.

angular-phonecat \ node_modules \ http-server \ node_modules \ ecstatic \ lib \ ecstatic

and in the file etag.js replace with this:

 module.exports = function (stat) { return JSON.stringify([stat.ino, stat.size, stat.mtime.toJSON()].join('-')); }

it helped me, they say that this is fixed in the latest version of the http-server.

    This problem was personally related to the npm package "karma", when the non-en-en locale was used. In this case, you had to go to "node_modules / karma / lib / middleware / commonjs" and delete or comment on the 76th line

     response.setHeader('Expires', (new Date(0)).toString())

    Well, either correct it so that it generates a string without Latin letters.
