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

There are some issues related to Firewall. Please turn off Firewall or else, connect your internet to wifi/personal wifi. These solution worked for me.

Answer 2

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");

Answer 3

The server isn't waiting for any data from the client, and when the server exits the connection will be closed.

Add a ins.readLine() to the server code like this:

// Receive message from client i.e Request from client

BufferedReader ins = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
System.out.println(ins.readLine());
