What the 'serializer for text/html; charset=UTF-8; doesn't exist' error means?

7/31/2018

Today I tried to see the PODs from a Kubernetes namespace and this error started to happen:

serializer for text/html; charset=UTF-8; doesn't exist

When I execute the follow command:

 .\kubectl.exe -n hml get pod

What is the cause for this error?

I forgot to connect to the Azure VPN to access the kubernetes environment. I just needed to do this.

After connect to the VPN, the error was gone. Sadly the error does not describe very well the cause.

As I was behind a company proxy, I think without the VPN the proxy itself changed the Content-Type request header to text/html on the connection, making the Kubernetes show this error because it was expecting another Content-Type.
