 * Hi,
    This should be caused by a server environment variable / configuration. 
   Can you run into a debug and see what’s the exact content data for the $buffer
   variable?
 * Thanks

 * I found out $buffer is always empty when the error occurs. Also in the debug 
   process I noticed it does not happen while W3 Total Cache plugin is deactivated.
 * Wordpress 4.8
    PHP 7.0.16 WP Hide & Security Enhancer 1.4.5.1
 * Thanks!
