# request misdirected

`TNL_REQUEST_MISDIRECTED`

the browser reused an HTTP/2 connection for a different public url under the same certificate. tnl asked it to retry on a new connection.

the visitor request reached the wrong public url

## what happened

- the HTTP/2 request hostname differs from the TLS server name used for this connection

## if you are visiting

- retry the exact HTTPS url on a new connection

## if you run tnl

- check the requested hostname and any clients reusing HTTP/2 connections
