javax net ssl SSLException Read error ssl 0x9524b800 I O error during system call Connection reset by peer

Question

Our clients are starting to see 100s of these  SSLException error - Connection reset by peer  over the last couple of weeks and I can t figure out why   We re using Retrofit with okhttp  no special configuration  public class OkHttpClientProvider implements IOkHttpClientProvider        OkHttpClient okHttpClient       public OkHttpClientProvider             this okHttpClient   createClient               public OkHttpClient getOkHttpClient             return this okHttpClient             private OkHttpClient createClient             return new OkHttpClient               The above client provider is a singleton  The RestAdapter is built using this injected client  we use dagger  -   RestAdapter Builder restAdapterBuilder   new RestAdapter Builder                                            setConverter converter                                           setEndpoint networkRequestDetails getServerUrl                                             setClient new OkClient okHttpClientProvider getOkHttpClient                                              setErrorHandler new NetworkSynchronousErrorHandler eventBus                                                Based on stack overflow solutions what I ve found out -    The keep alive duration on the server is 180 seconds  OkHttp has a default of 300 seconds The server returns  Connection  close  in its header but the client request sends  Connection  keepAlive  The server supports TLS 1 0   1 1   1 2 and uses Open SSL Our servers have moved to another hosting provider recently in another geography so I don t know if these are DNS failures or not We ve tried tweaking things like keepAlive  reconfigured OpenSSL on the server but for some reason the Android client keeps getting this error It happens immediately without any delay when you try to use the app to post something or pull to refresh  it doesn t even go to network or have a delay before this exception happens which would imply the connection is already broken   But trying it multiple times somehow  fixes it  and we get a success  It happens again later We ve invalidated our DNS entries on the server to see if this what caused it but that hasn t helped It mostly happens on LTE but I ve seen it on Wifi as well   I don t want to disable keep alive because most modern clients don t do that  Also we re using OkHttp 2 4  and this is a problem on post Ice cream sandwich devices so I m hoping it should take care of these underlying networking issues  The iOS client also gets these exceptions but close to a 100 times less  iOS client uses AFNetworking 2 0   I m struggling to find new things to try at this point  any help   ideas   Update -

Another possible cause for this error message is if the HTTP Method is blocked by the server or load balancer.

It seems to be standard security practice to block unused HTTP Methods. We ran into this because HEAD was being blocked by the load balancer (but, oddly, not all of the load balanced servers, which caused it to fail only some of the time). I was able to test that the request itself worked fine by temporarily changing it to use the GET method.

The error code on iOS was: Error requesting App Code: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 "The network connection was lost."

If using Nginx and getting a similar problem  then this might help   Scan your domain on this sslTesturl  and see if the connection is allowed for your device version   If lower version devices like  lt  Android 4 4 2 etc  are not able to connect due to TLS support  then try adding this to your Nginx config file   ssl protocols TLSv1 TLSv1 1 TLSv1 2

Recently I faced the issue while working on some legacy code  After googling I found that the issue is everywhere but without any concrete resolution  I worked on various parts of the exception message and analyzed below   Analysis    SSLException  exception happened with the SSL  Secure Socket Layer   which is implemented in javax net ssl package of the JDK  openJDK oracleJDK AndroidSDK  Read error ssl   I O error during system call  Error occured while reading from the Secure socket  It happened while using the native system libraries driver  Please note that all the platforms solaris  Windows etc  have their own socket libraries which is used by the SSL  Windows uses WINSOCK library  Connection reset by peer  This message is reported by the system library  Solaris reports ECONNRESET  Windows reports WSAECONNRESET   that the socket used in the data transfer is no longer usable because an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host  One needs to create a new secure path between the host and client   Reason   Understanding the issue  I try finding the reason behind the connection reset and I came up with below reasons    The peer application on the remote host is suddenly stopped  the host is rebooted  the host or remote network interface is disabled  or the remote host uses a hard close  This error may also result if a connection was broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while one or more operations are in progress  Operations that were in progress fail with Network dropped connection on reset On Windows WSAENETRESET   and Subsequent operations fail withConnection reset by peer On Windows WSAECONNRESET    If the target server is protected by Firewall  which is true in most of the cases  the Time to live  TTL  or timeout associated with the port forcibly closes the idle connection at given timeout  this is something of our interest   Resolution    Events on the server side such as sudden service stop  rebooted  network interface disabled can not be handled by any means  On the server side  Configure firewall for the given port with the higher Time to Live  TTL  or timeout values such as 3600 secs  Clients can  try  keeping the network active to avoid or reduce the Connection reset by peer  Normally on going network traffic keeps the connection alive and problem exception is not seen frequently  Strong Wifi has least chances of Connection reset by peer  With the mobile networks 2G  3G and 4G where the packet data delivery is intermittent and dependent on the mobile network availability  it may not reset the TTL timer on the server side and results into the Connection reset by peer     Here are the terms suggested to set on various forums to resolve the issue   ConnectionTimeout  Used only at the time out making the connection  If host takes time to connection higher value of this makes the client wait for the connection  SoTimeout  Socket timeout-It says the maximum time within which the a data packet is received to consider the connection as active If no data received within the given time  the connection is assumed as stalled broken  Linger  Upto what time the socket should not be closed when data is queued to be sent and the close socket function is called on the socket  TcpNoDelay  Do you want to disable the buffer that holds and accumulates the TCP packets and send them once a threshold is reached  Setting this to true will skip the TCP buffering so that every request is sent immediately  Slowdowns in the network may be caused by an increase in network traffic due to smaller and more frequent packet transmission    So none of the above parameter helps keeping the network alive and thus ineffective   I found one setting that may help resolving the issue which is this functions  setKeepAlive true  setSoKeepalive HttpParams params  enableKeepalive  true      How did I resolve my issue    Set the HttpConnectionParams setSoKeepAlive params  true  Catch the SSLException and check for the exception message for Connection reset by peer If exception is found  store the download read progress and create a new connection  If possible resume the download read else restart the download   I hope the details help  Happy Coding

Android Supports SSL implementation by default except for Android N  API level 24  and below Android 5 1  API level 22  I was getting the error when making the API call below API level 22 devices after implementing SSL at the server side  that was while creating OkHttpClient client object  and fixed by adding connectionSpecs   method OkHttpClient Builder class   the error received was     response failure  javax net ssl SSLException  SSL handshake aborted    ssl 0xb8882c00  I O error during system call  Connection reset by peer   so I fixed this by added the check like   if   Build VERSION SDK INT  lt  Build VERSION CODES LOLLIPOP MR1                   Do something for below api level 22             List lt ConnectionSpec gt  specsList   getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1 okb               if  specsList    null                    okb connectionSpecs specsList                             Also for the Android N  API level 24   I was getting the error while making the HTTP call like      HTTP FAILED  javax net ssl SSLHandshakeException  Handshake failed   and this is fixed by adding the check for Android 7 particularly  like  if  android os Build VERSION SDK INT    Build VERSION CODES N                  Do something for naugat   7             okb connectionSpecs Collections singletonList getSpec                  So my final OkHttpClient object will be like            OkHttpClient client          HttpLoggingInterceptor httpLoggingInterceptor2   new          HttpLoggingInterceptor             httpLoggingInterceptor2 setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY             OkHttpClient Builder okb   new OkHttpClient Builder                     addInterceptor httpLoggingInterceptor2                  addInterceptor new Interceptor                           Override                      public Response intercept Chain chain  throws IOException                            Request request   chain request                             Request request2   request newBuilder   addHeader AUTH KEYWORD  AUTH TYPE JW         password  build                             return chain proceed request2                                              connectTimeout 30  TimeUnit SECONDS                    writeTimeout 30  TimeUnit SECONDS                    readTimeout 30  TimeUnit SECONDS             if  android os Build VERSION SDK INT    Build VERSION CODES N                   Do something for naugat   7              okb connectionSpecs Collections singletonList getSpec                           if   Build VERSION SDK INT  lt  Build VERSION CODES LOLLIPOP MR1                 List lt ConnectionSpec gt  specsList   getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1 okb                if  specsList    null                     okb connectionSpecs specsList                                         init client          client   okb build      getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1 function be like       private List lt ConnectionSpec gt  getSpecsBelowLollipopMR1 OkHttpClient Builder okb             try                SSLContext sc   SSLContext getInstance  TLSv1 2                sc init null  null  null               okb sslSocketFactory new Tls12SocketFactory sc getSocketFactory                   ConnectionSpec cs   new ConnectionSpec Builder ConnectionSpec MODERN TLS                       tlsVersions TlsVersion TLS 1 2                       build                 List lt ConnectionSpec gt  specs   new ArrayList lt  gt                 specs add cs               specs add ConnectionSpec COMPATIBLE TLS                return specs             catch  Exception exc                Timber e  OkHttpTLSCompat Error while setting TLS 1 2   exc                return null                    The Tls12SocketFactory class will be found in below link  comment by gotev      https   github com square okhttp issues 2372     For more support adding some links below this will help you in detail      https   developer android com training articles security-ssl      D OkHttp   lt -- HTTP FAILED  javax net ssl SSLException  SSL handshake aborted  ssl 0x64e3c938  I O error during system call  Connection reset by peer

we had this same issue starting this morning and goti it solved    hope this helps     SSL on IIS 8   Everything was working fine yesterday and last night our SSL was updated on the IIS site  While checking out the site Bindings to the SSL noticed that IIS8 has a new checkbox Require Server Name Indication  it was not checked so preceded to enable it  That triggered the problem  Went back to IIS  disabled the checkbox     Problem Solved       Hope this helps
