Hi Mike, Oleg Thanks for the response.
Though I have the latest build, I am still getting the socket closed exception. I guess I am missing something in the funda. Here is my code: // SET SYS PROP FOR HTTPCLIENT DEBUG System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.Log", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog"); System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime", "true"); System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.httpclient.wire", "debug"); System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.commons.httpclient", "debug"); //the following decleration can be changed to HttpMethodBase aHttpClient = new HttpClient(); PostMethod method = new PostMethod(aURL); method.setFollowRedirects(true); method.setStrictMode(false); method.setRequestBody(aRequest); method.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); method.setRequestContentLength(PostMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_AUTO); //method.setRequestContentLength(aRequest.length()); int aStatusCode = -1; String aResponse = null; try { aHttpClient.getState().setProxyCredentials( null, null, new UsernamePasswordCredentials(ProxyUID, ProxyPwd)); HostConfiguration aHConfig = new HostConfiguration(); aHConfig.setHost(aHost,aPort,aProtocol); aHConfig.setProxy(aProxyHost, aProxyPort); method.setHostConfiguration(aHConfig); aHttpClient.setConnectionTimeout(10000); //aHttpClient.setTimeout(10000); // BEGIN RETRY CODE int attempt = 0; Exception retriedException = null; // We will retry up to 3 times. while (aStatusCode == -1 && attempt < 3) { try { attempt++; aHttpClient.getHttpConnectionManager().getConnection(aHConfig).setSoTimeout(10000); aStatusCode = aHttpClient.executeMethod(method); //if successful come off the loop } catch (HttpRecoverableException e) { retriedException = e; if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("A recoverable exception occurred, retrying.", e); log.debug("Status code from executMethod = " + aStatusCode); } } catch (HttpException he) { //throw something } catch (IOException e) { //throw something } }//end while // Check that we didn't run out of retries. if (aStatusCode == -1) { log.debug("Failed to recover from exception."); //throw something } // Check that we didn't get a status other than OK (200). if (aStatusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) { log.debug("Bad status code from executMethod = " + aStatusCode); //throw something } //Get a handle to the input stream returned by the server. //BufferedInputStream rspStream = new BufferedInputStream( method.getResponseBodyAsStream() ); String strResponse = null; StringBuffer strBuffer = new StringBuffer(); BufferedReader reader = null; try { //Get a handle to the input stream returned by the server. InputStream inStream = aMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream(); reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStream)); String line = null; int letter = 0; while ((letter = reader.read()) != -1) strBuffer.append((char) letter); inStream.close(); } catch (Exception e) { //create exception } finally { if (exceptionToThrow != null) { //throw exception } } //end finally return strBuffer.toString(); The request I send to the Postmethod is an XML request. the url is : https://.... I tried the same code with http and it works fine (as expected I am getting a 404 from the server). any light.. will be helpful. - NRR --- Michael Becke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The patch for 20938 should have been included in > beta 2. > > Mike > > Oleg Kalnichevski wrote: > > I am a bit doubtful that the bug fix #20938 had > anything to do with your > > problem.
