java net SocketException Software caused connection abort recv failed

Question

I haven t been able to find an adequate answer to what exactly the following error means   java net SocketException  Software caused connection abort  recv failed   Notes    This error is infrequent and unpredictable  although getting this error means that all future requests for URIs will also fail  The only solution that works  also  only occasionally  is to reboot Tomcat and or the actual machine  Windows in this case   The URI is definitely available  as confirmed by asking the browser to do the fetch     Relevant code   BufferedReader reader  try     URL url   new URL URI    reader   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader url openStream         catch  MalformedURLException e       throw new IOException  Expecting a well-formed URL      e       end try  Have a stream  String buffer  StringBuilder result   new StringBuilder    while  null     buffer   reader readLine          result append buffer       end while  Got the contents  reader close

Are you accessing http data   Can you use the HttpClient library instead of the standard library   The library has more options and will provide better error messages   http   hc apache org httpclient-3 x

This usually means that there was a network error  such as a TCP timeout  I would start by placing a sniffer  wireshark  on the connection to see if you can see any problems   If there is a TCP error  you should be able to see it   Also  you can check your router logs  if this is applicable   If wireless is involved anywhere  that is another source for these kind of errors

I too had this problem  My solution was   sc setSoLinger true  10     COPY FROM A WEBSITE -- By using the setSoLinger   method  you can explicitly set a delay before a reset is sent  giving more time for data to be read or send   Maybe it is not the answer to everybody but to some people

This error occurs when a connection is closed abruptly  when a TCP connection is reset while there is still data in the send buffer   The condition is very similar to a much more common  Connection reset by peer   It can happen sporadically when connecting over the Internet  but also systematically if the timing is right  e g  with keep-alive connections on localhost    An HTTP client should just re-open the connection and retry the request  It is important to understand that when a connection is in this state  there is no way out of it other than to close it  Any attempt to send or receive will produce the same error   Don t use URL open    use Apache-Commons HttpClient which has a retry mechanism  connection pooling  keep-alive and many other features   Sample usage   HttpClient httpClient   HttpClients custom                setConnectionTimeToLive 20  TimeUnit SECONDS               setMaxConnTotal 400  setMaxConnPerRoute 400               setDefaultRequestConfig RequestConfig custom                        setSocketTimeout 30000  setConnectTimeout 5000  build                 setRetryHandler new DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler 5  true                build       the httpClient should be re-used because it is pooled and thread-safe   HttpGet request   new HttpGet uri   HttpResponse response   httpClient execute request   reader   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader response getEntity   getContent         handle response

This also happens if your TLS client is unable to be authenticate by the server configured to require client authentication

Look if you have another service or program running on the http port  It happened to me when I tried to use the port and it was taken by another program

This will happen from time to time either when a connection times out or when a remote host terminates their connection  closed application  computer shutdown  etc   You can avoid this by managing sockets yourself and handling disconnections in your application via its communications protocol and then calling shutdownInput and shutdownOutput to clear up the session
