I wrote some simple code in Java, the method should connect to the website and return the BufferedReader.
private BufferedReader getConnection(String url_a) {
URL url;
try {
System.out.println("getting connection");
url = new URL(url_a);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
urlConnection.addRequestProperty("User-Agent",
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040924"
+ "Epiphany/1.4.4 (Ubuntu)");
inStream = new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream());
return new BufferedReader(inStream);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Reader.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return null;
}
When I use it on my PC, it works fine but when I put .jar file on the server I get this error:
java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server
at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(HttpClient.java:718)
at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(HttpClient.java:579)
at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(HttpClient.java:715)
at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(HttpClient.java:579)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1322)
at dataconverter.Reader.getConnection(Reader.java.260)
Problem is quite strange because the exception isn't thrown each time, sometimes everything is OK and program works fine.
Has anybody got any ideas?
This question is related to
java
sockets
httpurlconnection
I would suggest using wire shark to trace packets. If you are using Ubuntu, sudo-apt get wireshark. Like Joni stated the only way to figure out whats going wrong is to follow the GET requests and their associated responses.
This exception is encountered when you are expecting a response, but the socket has been abruptly closed.
Java's HTTPClient
, found here, throws a SocketException
with message "Unexpected end of file from server" in a very specific circumstance.
After making a request, HTTPClient
gets an InputStream
tied to the socket associated with the request. It then polls that InputStream
repeatedly until it either:
InputStream
is reached before 8 characters are readIn case of number 2, HTTPClient
will throw this SocketException
if any of the following are true:
This indicates that the TCP socket has been closed before the server was able to send a response. This could happen for any number of reasons, but some possibilities are:
Note: When Nginx reloads its config, it forcefully closes any in-flight HTTP Keep-Alive connections (even POSTs), causing this exact error.
I got this exception too. MY error code is below
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod(requestMethod);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "JSON");
I found "Content-type" should not be "JSON",is wrong! I solved this exception by update this line to below
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/json");
you can check up your "Content-type"
In my case it was solved just passing proxy to connection. Thanks to @Andreas Panagiotidis.
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("<YOUR.HOST>", 80)));
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection(proxy);
In my case url contained wrong chars like spaces . Overall log your url and in some cases use browser.
I do get this error when I do not set the Authentication header or I set wrong credentials.
Most likely the headers you are setting is incorrect or not acceptable.
Example: connnection.setRequestProperty("content-type", "application/json");
