Stop Qt WebEngine retry after failed proxy authenticaton - proxy

I have a QWebEnginePage, where I connected the proxyAuthenticationRequired signal to an authenticator function:
void
CustomQWebEnginePage::proxyAuthenticator(const QUrl &requestUrl, QAuthenticator *authenticator, const QString &proxyHost)
{
authenticator->setUser(CustomQWebEnginePage::DEFAULT_PROXY_USER);
authenticator->setPassword(CustomQWebEnginePage::DEFAULT_PROXY_PASSWORD);
}
I have set up a squid proxy server with basic authentication to test it.
My problem is:
If the authentication fails (wrong user/password), QtWebEngine will repeatedly try to authenticate for a total of 32 times.
I did find in the documentation that proxy errors won't be reported, there will be no signals.
But is it possible to stop the retries? What is even doing it? Is it Qt? Is it Chromium?
I tried to track down the retry count 32 in Qt/Chromium/Squid, but no luck.
Ultimately, what I try to achieve is to be able to restrict the retries within QtWebEngine, like saying, after the first fail, stop trying to authenticate.
(Solving on the Squid side is not an option, as it is only a test proxy server, later I won't be able to control the proxy.)

Oracle JDBC intermittent connection reset SQLRecoverableException [duplicate]

I am getting the following error trying to read from a socket. I'm doing a readInt() on that InputStream, and I am getting this error. Perusing the documentation this suggests that the client part of the connection closed the connection. In this scenario, I am the server.
I have access to the client log files and it is not closing the connection, and in fact its log files suggest I am closing the connection. So does anybody have an idea why this is happening? What else to check for? Does this arise when there are local resources that are perhaps reaching thresholds?
I do note that I have the following line:
socket.setSoTimeout(10000);
just prior to the readInt(). There is a reason for this (long story), but just curious, are there circumstances under which this might lead to the indicated error? I have the server running in my IDE, and I happened to leave my IDE stuck on a breakpoint, and I then noticed the exact same errors begin appearing in my own logs in my IDE.
Anyway, just mentioning it, hopefully not a red herring. :-(
There are several possible causes.
The other end has deliberately reset the connection, in a way which I will not document here. It is rare, and generally incorrect, for application software to do this, but it is not unknown for commercial software.
More commonly, it is caused by writing to a connection that the other end has already closed normally. In other words an application protocol error.
It can also be caused by closing a socket when there is unread data in the socket receive buffer.
In Windows, 'software caused connection abort', which is not the same as 'connection reset', is caused by network problems sending from your end. There's a Microsoft knowledge base article about this.
Connection reset simply means that a TCP RST was received. This happens when your peer receives data that it can't process, and there can be various reasons for that.
The simplest is when you close the socket, and then write more data on the output stream. By closing the socket, you told your peer that you are done talking, and it can forget about your connection. When you send more data on that stream anyway, the peer rejects it with an RST to let you know it isn't listening.
In other cases, an intervening firewall or even the remote host itself might "forget" about your TCP connection. This could happen if you don't send any data for a long time (2 hours is a common time-out), or because the peer was rebooted and lost its information about active connections. Sending data on one of these defunct connections will cause a RST too.
Update in response to additional information:
Take a close look at your handling of the SocketTimeoutException. This exception is raised if the configured timeout is exceeded while blocked on a socket operation. The state of the socket itself is not changed when this exception is thrown, but if your exception handler closes the socket, and then tries to write to it, you'll be in a connection reset condition. setSoTimeout() is meant to give you a clean way to break out of a read() operation that might otherwise block forever, without doing dirty things like closing the socket from another thread.
Whenever I have had odd issues like this, I usually sit down with a tool like WireShark and look at the raw data being passed back and forth. You might be surprised where things are being disconnected, and you are only being notified when you try and read.
You should inspect full trace very carefully,
I've a server socket application and fixed a java.net.SocketException: Connection reset case.
In my case it happens while reading from a clientSocket Socket object which is closed its connection because of some reason. (Network lost,firewall or application crash or intended close)
Actually I was re-establishing connection when I got an error while reading from this Socket object.
Socket clientSocket = ServerSocket.accept();
is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
int readed = is.read(); // WHERE ERROR STARTS !!!
The interesting thing is for my JAVA Socket if a client connects to my ServerSocket and close its connection without sending anything is.read() is being called repeatedly.It seems because of being in an infinite while loop for reading from this socket you try to read from a closed connection.
If you use something like below for read operation;
while(true)
{
Receive();
}
Then you get a stackTrace something like below on and on
java.net.SocketException: Socket is closed
at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:494)
What I did is just closing ServerSocket and renewing my connection and waiting for further incoming client connections
String Receive() throws Exception
{
try {
int readed = is.read();
....
}catch(Exception e)
{
tryReConnect();
logit(); //etc
}
//...
}
This reestablises my connection for unknown client socket losts
private void tryReConnect()
{
try
{
ServerSocket.close();
//empty my old lost connection and let it get by garbage col. immediately
clientSocket=null;
System.gc();
//Wait a new client Socket connection and address this to my local variable
clientSocket= ServerSocket.accept(); // Waiting for another Connection
System.out.println("Connection established...");
}catch (Exception e) {
String message="ReConnect not successful "+e.getMessage();
logit();//etc...
}
}
I couldn't find another way because as you see from below image you can't understand whether connection is lost or not without a try and catch ,because everything seems right . I got this snapshot while I was getting Connection reset continuously.
Embarrassing to say it, but when I had this problem, it was simply a mistake that I was closing the connection before I read all the data. In cases with small strings being returned, it worked, but that was probably due to the whole response was buffered, before I closed it.
In cases of longer amounts of text being returned, the exception was thrown, since more then a buffer was coming back.
You might check for this oversight. Remember opening a URL is like a file, be sure to close it (release the connection) once it has been fully read.
I had the same error. I found the solution for problem now. The problem was client program was finishing before server read the streams.
I had this problem with a SOA system written in Java. I was running both the client and the server on different physical machines and they worked fine for a long time, then those nasty connection resets appeared in the client log and there wasn't anything strange in the server log. Restarting both client and server didn't solve the problem. Finally we discovered that the heap on the server side was rather full so we increased the memory available to the JVM: problem solved! Note that there was no OutOfMemoryError in the log: memory was just scarce, not exhausted.
Check your server's Java version. Happened to me because my Weblogic 10.3.6 was on JDK 1.7.0_75 which was on TLSv1. The rest endpoint I was trying to consume was shutting down anything below TLSv1.2.
By default Weblogic was trying to negotiate the strongest shared protocol. See details here: Issues with setting https.protocols System Property for HTTPS connections.
I added verbose SSL logging to identify the supported TLS. This indicated TLSv1 was being used for the handshake.
-Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake:verbose:keymanager:trustmanager -Djava.security.debug=access:stack
I resolved this by pushing the feature out to our JDK8-compatible product, JDK8 defaults to TLSv1.2. For those restricted to JDK7, I also successfully tested a workaround for Java 7 by upgrading to TLSv1.2. I used this answer: How to enable TLS 1.2 in Java 7
I also had this problem with a Java program trying to send a command on a server via SSH. The problem was with the machine executing the Java code. It didn't have the permission to connect to the remote server. The write() method was doing alright, but the read() method was throwing a java.net.SocketException: Connection reset. I fixed this problem with adding the client SSH key to the remote server known keys.
In my case was DNS problem .
I put in host file the resolved IP and everything works fine.
Of course it is not a permanent solution put this give me time to fix the DNS problem.
In my experience, I often encounter the following situations;
If you work in a corporate company, contact the network and security team. Because in requests made to external services, it may be necessary to give permission for the relevant endpoint.
Another issue is that the SSL certificate may have expired on the server where your application is running.
I've seen this problem. In my case, there was an error caused by reusing the same ClientRequest object in an specific Java class. That project was using Jboss Resteasy.
Initially only one method was using/invoking the object ClientRequest (placed as global variable in the class) to do a request in an specific URL.
After that, another method was created to get data with another URL, reusing the same ClientRequest object, though.
The solution: in the same class was created another ClientRequest object and exclusively to not be reused.
In my case it was problem with TSL version. I was using Retrofit with OkHttp client and after update ALB on server side I should have to delete my config with connectionSpecs:
OkHttpClient.Builder clientBuilder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
List<ConnectionSpec> connectionSpecs = new ArrayList<>();
connectionSpecs.add(ConnectionSpec.COMPATIBLE_TLS);
// clientBuilder.connectionSpecs(connectionSpecs);
So try to remove or add this config to use different TSL configurations.
I used to get the 'NotifyUtil::java.net.SocketException: Connection reset at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:...' message in the Apache Console of my Netbeans7.4 setup.
I tried many solutions to get away from it, what worked for me is enabling the TLS on Tomcat.
Here is how to:
Create a keystore file to store the server's private key and
self-signed certificate by executing the following command:
Windows:
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
Unix:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
and specify a password value of "changeit".
As per https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
(This will create a .keystore file in your localuser dir)
Then edit server.xml (uncomment and edit relevant lines) file (%CATALINA_HOME%apache-tomcat-7.0.41.0_base\conf\server.xml) to enable SSL and TLS protocol:
<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystorePass="changeit" />
I hope this helps

gRPC stopped working with APO on Windows 11

I have a Windows application (APP) and Audio Processing Object (APO) loaded by AudioDG.exe that communicate via gRPC:
APP part that is written in C# creates server via Grpc.Core.
APO part creates client via grpc++.
Server is on 127.0.0.1:20000 (I can see it's up and listening with netstat -ano).
I can confirm that APO is loaded into audio device graph by inspecting it with process explorer.
Everything worked like a charm on Windows 8 and 10, but on 11 it cannot communicate at all - I get either Error Code 14, Unavailable, failed to connect to all addresses or 4, Deadline Exceeded.
After enabling debug traces, I now see "socket is null" description for "connect failed" error:
I0207 16:20:59.916447 0 ..\..\..\src\core\ext\filters\client_channel\subchannel.cc:950: subchannel 000001D8B9B01E20 {address=ipv4:127.0.0.1:10000, args=grpc.client_channel_factory=0x1d8bb660460, grpc.default_authority=127.0.0.1:10000, grpc.internal.subchannel_pool=0x1d8b8c291b0, grpc.primary_user_agent=grpc-csharp/2.43.0 (.NET Framework 4.8.4470.0; CLR 4.0.30319.42000; net45; x64), grpc.resource_quota=0x1d8b8c28d90, grpc.server_uri=dns:///127.0.0.1:10000}: connect failed: {"created":"#1644240059.916000000","description":"socket is null","file":"..\..\..\src\core\lib\iomgr\tcp_client_windows.cc","file_line":112}
What I've tried so far:
Updating both parts to the latest grpc versions.
Using "no proxy", "Http2UnencryptedSupport" and other env variables.
Using "localhost" or "0.0.0.0" instead of "127.0.0.1".
Updating connection to use self signed SSL certificates (root CA, server cert + key, client cert + key).
Adding inbound / outbound rules for my port, and then disabling firewall completely.
Creating server on APO side and trying to connect with the client in APP.
Everything works (both insecure and SSL creds) if I create both client and server in C# part, but as soon as it's APP-APO communication it feels blocked or sandboxed.
What has been changed in Windows 11 that can "block" gRPC?
Thanks in advance!
In your input you write:
Server is at 127.0.0.1:20000
Further looking at the logs, you can see that:
The server is located at
grpc.server_uri=dns:///127.0.0.1:10000
Based on the question posed and the amount of data provided, I would check which port the server is really using and which port the client is looking for a connection on.
The easiest way to do this is to use the built-in Resource Monitor application. On the Network tab, in the TCP Connections list, you can find the application and the port it uses.
You can also use the PowerShell command
Test-NetConnection -Port 10000 -InformationLevel "Detailed"
Test-NetConnection -Port 20000 -InformationLevel "Detailed"
At least this is the first thing I would check based on what you described.
Regarding your question about the changes in Windows 11, I do not think that this is something that's causing problems for you. However, Windows 11 has additional security features compared to Windows 10, try disabling the security features completely as a test. Perhaps this will help solve the problem.
As for ASP.NET Core 6.0 itself (if I understood the version correctly), then there is a possibility that the server part, working not in the sandbox of the programming environment, still does not accept the client certificate. At the program level, you can try to fix this by adding the following exception to the code:
// This switch must be set before creating the GrpcChannel/HttpClient.
AppContext.SetSwitch(
"System.Net.Http.SocketsHttpHandler.Http2UnencryptedSupport", true);
// The port number(5000) must match the port of the gRPC server.
var channel = GrpcChannel.ForAddress("http://localhost:5000");
var client = new Greet.GreeterClient(channel);
More troubleshooting issues with ASP.NET Core 6.0 Microsoft described in detail here.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/grpc/troubleshoot?view=aspnetcore-6.0
I hope it was useful and at least one of the solutions I suggested will help solve your problem. In any case, if I had more information, I think I could help you more accurately.

How do I solve Jmeter Error Connection reset?

I am running a performance test on a site using Jmeter. Using a load of up to 100 simultaneous users(Threads) the tests pass perfectly, trying to raise this load to 300 users (Threads) I get the following error:
Non HTTP response code: java.net.SocketException / Non HTTP response message: Connection reset
The error occurs in only 0.68% of requests (out of 2412 requests made by 300 users(Threads) only 2 requests generated this error)
I thought it was the maximum number of connections allowed on my server, I went to my application's webconfig and entered the following information: "Min Pool Size = 5; Max Pool Size = 500;". but still not solve the problem.
Does anyone know what I can do to not generate these errors?
Most probably it indicates a problem with your application, try checking:
application logs
application/web server logs and configuration
underlying operating system logs and networking configuration. also pay attention to number of open ports/sockets/handles (can be checked using either built-in OS monitoring tools or JMeter PerfMon Plugin)
If you're absolutely sure that there is nothing wrong with your test script and application and JMeter is configured to behave exactly like a real browser you can follow instructions from JMeterSocketClosed wiki page

ZeroMQ Curve Assertion with ZAP handler on Client side

This problem may be a bit obscure... I'm encountering a ZeroMQ assertion on connections when I configure a client process (the side that connects, not binds) as a curve server with a custom ZAP handler. This configuration is backwards from the examples I've looked at - in that usually the curve server is the side the binds, and the client connects); however, the documentation indicates that it doesn't matter which side binds or connects.
In the ZAP handler, if the curve client credentials are valid, the connection is established and everything works. However, if the credentials are invalid and the ZAP handler responds with a "400" status code, ZeroMQ asserts right afterwards. The exact assert is "Assertion failed: zap_pipe == NULL (src/session_base.cpp:301)". I have verified that if I reverse which side binds and connects, there is no assertion.
ZMQ version is 4.1.4, running on Ubuntu 16.04.9,gcc 5.4.0. ( #Dale )
I've not been able to find detailed documentation specifying how the ZAP handler is supposed to work - so perhaps there is another code that should be returned?
Has anyone else ever tried this?

'net use' over SSL fails unless port 443 is specified

We are attempting to connect to a WebDAV server using net use over SSL. On some servers we're seeing an issue in which this connection only succeeds if we specify port 443 in the URL.
Does Map
net use * "https://example.com:443/folder"
net use * "\\example.com#SSL#443\folder"
and, bizarrely, so does this:
net use * "\\example.com#SSLasdf\folder"
Does Not Map
net use * "https://example.com/folder"
net use * "\\example.com#SSL\folder"
In the non-working cases we consistently receive the following error:
System error 67 has occured.
The network name cannot be found.
We have noticed some things that might be useful information:
We have a test server that's configured the same way as the prod server and it works as expected.
In the non-working cases, no incoming requests are ever seen at the prod server from the failing host.
All clients are based on the same image.
The problem does not manifest uniformly on all clients -- some work, some don't.
There is an existing, valid entry for example.com in the client DNS cache.
Flushing the client DNS cache of the affected servers does not resolve the problem.
Once the problem appears, it seems to stick. That is, if I execute one of the working mappings, delete it, and then immediately execute one of the non-working mappings, the problem persists.
We are utterly stumped. Any theories?
You are seeing different behaviors because you are connecting using different names. Once a name has been attempted and failed, the WebClient (this is the service that enables WebDAV) will cache the response for a period. To clear the cache, locate the WebClient service in the Services console and restart it. Or from an administrative command prompt execute the following command:
net.exe stop webclient && net.exe start webclient
We ultimately determined that we were mis-interpreting the System Error 67 that net use was returning. We discovered two interesting things:
In the event that the WebDAV returns a 404 or a 50x on the initial, root folder PROPFIND, net use will (rightly) interpret this as the root folder being unavailable. The fact that it says the network name could not be found let us to believe that the problem was with the name resolution, but it was really just saying, 'hey, I couldn't find anything at this path.'
If 'net use' fails due to a 404/50x, it appears that for a brief period of time it will automatically fail any additional mappings for that same host without issuing a request. For example, if net use http://me.com/foo returns a 404, then net use http://me.com/bar will instantly fail if made in rapid succession to that first call, and no request record will be seen in the WebDAV server logs.
My best guess is that appending the #443 port didn't make any real difference. What it perhaps did do was to trick net use into thinking it was talking to a different host, at least for the purposes of its 'auto-fail' feature. But that's just a guess.
