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
I have a grpc server and client that works as expected most of the time, but do get a "transport is closing" error occasionally:
rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing
I'm wondering if it's a problem with my setup. The client is pretty basic
connection, err := grpc.Dial(address, grpc.WithInsecure(), grpc.WithBlock())
pb.NewAppClient(connection)
defer connection.Close()
and calls are made with a timeout like
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 300*time.Millisecond)
defer cancel()
client.MyGRPCMethod(ctx, params)
One other thing I'm doing is checking the connection to see if it's either open, idle or connecting, and reusing the connection if so. Otherwise, redialing.
Nothing special configuration is happening with the server
grpc.NewServer()
Are there any common mistakes setting up a grpc client/server that I might be making?
After much search, I have finally come to an acceptable and logical solution to this problem.
The root-cause is this: The underlying TCP connection is closed abruptly, but neither the gRPC Client nor Server are 'notified' of this event.
The challenge is at multiple levels:
Kernel's management of TCP sockets
Any intermediary load-balancers/reverse-proxies (by Cloud Providers or otherwise) and how they manage TCP sockets
Your application layer itself and it's networking requirements - whether it can reuse the same connection for future requests not
My solution turned out to be fairly simple:
server = grpc.NewServer(
grpc.KeepaliveParams(keepalive.ServerParameters{
MaxConnectionIdle: 5 * time.Minute, // <--- This fixes it!
}),
)
This ensures that the gRPC server closes the underlying TCP socket gracefully itself before any abrupt kills from the kernel or intermediary servers (AWS and Google Cloud Load Balancers both have larger timeouts than 5 minutes).
The added bonus you will find here is also that any places where you're using multiple connections, any leaks introduced by clients that forget to Close the connection will also not affect your server.
My $0.02: Don't blindly trust any organisation's (even Google's) ability to design and maintain API. This is a classic case of defaults-gone-wrong.
One other thing I'm doing is checking the connection to see if it's either open, idle or connecting, and reusing the connection if so. Otherwise, redialing.
grpc will manage your connections for you, reconnecting when needed, so you should never need to monitor it after creating it unless you have very specific needs.
"transport is closing" has many different reasons for happening; please see the relevant question in our FAQ and let us know if you still have questions: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go#the-rpc-failed-with-error-code--unavailable-desc--transport-is-closing
I had about the same issue earlier this year . After about 15 minuets I had servers close the connection.
My solution which is working was to create my connection with grpc.Dial once on my main function then create the pb.NewAppClient(connection) on each request. Since the connection was already created latency wasn't an issue. After the request was done I closed the client.
I am relatively new to JMeter however I have been doing Performance testing for almost a decade.
I am working with a proprietary TCP protocol that sends a keep alive periodically - through the existing TCP connection.
I am struggling to understand how I can fork the JMeter 'thread group' to handle a TCP Keep alive received over the same TCP session.
Any ideas?
Thank you brainstrust!
edit: I'm using the TCPsampler and have read the help page. I'll try to provide some more detail shortly about what's happening and how the protocol is written.
edit2: Unfortunately because it's a propriety protocol I cannot reveal the exact nature of the protocol itself but it's largely irrelevant to the problem I'm facing.
Basically, I use the 1st TCP sampler to 'start/authenticate' the session with the server. This is configured the following options:
1. TCPClient classname: LengthPrefixedBinaryTCPClientImpl (my protocol is implemented this standard way)
2. Re-use connection ON.
3. Close connection OFF.
4. Set NoDelay OFF.
5. SO_Linger: nothing
6. Text to send: my hex code for the protocol (this is correct)
I get the response from the first TCP request and then I want to start interacting, however in the session, the server sends a keep alive mid-stream, so occassionally when I send a request, I get an unexpected keep alive response instead (it's an open stream of data).
This is what I would like to solve.
I attempted to use a recursive test fragment, so that on KeepAlive response, it would send the request again however one cannot recurse the test fragments (it throws a Java error on Run attempt).
I hope this gives more context! Thank you for your patience (I'm a newbie SO user!)
Please check the below options if it helps with you sceario:-
If "Re-use connection" is selected, connections are shared between
Samplers in the same thread, provided that the exact same host name
string and port are used. Different hosts/port combinations will use
different connections, as will different threads. If both of "Re-use
connection" and "Close connection" are selected, the socket will be
closed after running the sampler. On the next sampler, another socket
will be created. You may want to close a socket at the end of each
thread loop.
If an error is detected - or "Re-use connection" is not selected - the
socket is closed. Another socket will be reopened on the next sample.
The following properties can be used to control its operation:
tcp.status.prefix text that precedes a status numbertcp.status.suffix
text that follows a status numbertcp.status.properties name of
property file to convert status codes to messagestcp.handler Name of
TCP Handler class (default TCPClientImpl) - only used if not specified

I am Using Atmosphere Framework web socket as my first preference for transmission fall back goes to long pooling ,
used runtime-native as atmosphere dependence for maven tool
Tomcat-v8 as a server
I could like to receive the broadcast message in Java Code so I refer to the following Links
http://blog.javaforge.net/post/32659151672/atmosphere-per-session-broadcaster
Broadcast to only one client with Atmosphere
https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere
https://atmosphere.java.net/atmosphere_whitepaper.pdf
From the above links and chart samples I build the project successfully but I could like to broadcast from client to server both are JAVA Language.
Also I wrote a BroadcastFactory as
Server:
BroadcasterFactory.getDefault().lookup("URL to broadcast", true).scheduleFixedBroadcast(message, 2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Client
AtmosphereRequest request = atmosphereResource.getRequest();
String IncomingMessage = request.getReader().readLine();
Here while I put debug mode I got NULL as value,this made me to ask question that whether I am doing wrong or Framework doesn't support.
FYI:
I used this Link
https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere/wiki/Creating-private-channel-of-communication-between-Browsers
I con't get the line
privateChannel
.addAtmosphereResource(atmosphereResource_browser1)
.addAtmosphereResource(atmosphereResource_browser2);
atmosphereResource_browser means its define browser name?
please suggest me how to proceed more,sharing of Links or video will be helpfull.Thank in Advance
No it's not the browser name but it is the the AtmosphereResource, who represent the browser/user to that Broadcaster.
If you want broadcast to limited clients then you can create privateChannel and then broadcast to that channel.
When I'm starting websockify with python2.7 on my server no warnings appear, everything is ok.
But when the first connection comes in there are problems with base64 I think:
1: <ip>: Plain non-SSL (ws://) WebSocket connection
1: <ip>: Version hybi-13, base64: 'False'
1: connecting to: <myserver.com>:64749
On the client side I get an error in safari but it also tells me that the connection is made and I'm able to send and receive messages:
WebSocket network error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Connection refused ws://localhost:17523
The error about connecting to ws://localhost:17523 is harmless. In order to test whether the WebSocket API supports binary data it is necessary to actually instantiate a WebSocket object, however, WebSocket objects must be instantiated with an actual destination so websock.js uses a localhost port to test the connection. The browser complains that the connection fails but websock.js is able to use that object to do its test.
The base64: False indicates that the client and server have negotiated to use raw binary data and don't need to use base64 encoded strings to encode the data. Base64 encoding is necessary in older browsers (or with web-socket-js emulator) that support WebSockets but not binary data.
Since you are successfully sending and receiving data, I assume this question is just verifying that the messages you are seeing aren't major problems correct?
