Solution :

need to upgrade http-server to 0.8.5

In package.json

"http-server": "^0.8.5"

It doesn't solve the problem in my environment...
(Windows 10 64bit, nodejs 4.3)

[inithink]

Solution : upgrade karma

[DanGld]

Solution: upgrade karma

How to do this?

[inithink]

maybe...
npm install karma --save
(you should see package.json file and update karma related packages)

[DanGld]

Solved: OS language wasn't english, so chars in header were not identified -> TypeError('The header content contains invalid characters')

[igoradamenko]

@DanGld Change OS lang because framework's example does not work? No.

Try npm install http-server -D. More info in PR: #311

[HBXSZ]

why "http-server": "^0.8.5" isn't work on my issue? Throw the same err:TypeError: The header content contains invalid characters
node v4
npm v2

[igoradamenko]

@HBXSZ try the 0.9.0 version. check the PR: #311

[HBXSZ]

@igoradamenko yep! It works fine,thanks a lot!

[Zenfeder]
