Cause of “Software caused connection abort: recv failed”

Question

I found a client/server code and I am getting this error:

java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

Answer 1

In my case it was related to Client authentication. It happened to me when I was trying to access SOAP API from Java code without setting keystore/keystorePassword and from the stacktrace there is no way we can figure out that there's a problem with Authentication.

After I added following lines before making call to SOAP API and it worked as expected.

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "Your Cert Type");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "Your cert path");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "Password");
