Laurent, I did some additional research and what I have found seems to only reinforce my previous assumptions
1.) The problem is perfectly reproducible with IBM JDK and IBM JSSE. There's no need for WAS. [DEBUG] HttpClient - -Java version: 1.3.0 [DEBUG] HttpClient - -Java vendor: IBM Corporation <snip> [DEBUG] HttpClient - -Operating system name: Windows 2000 [DEBUG] HttpClient - -Operating system architecture: x86 [DEBUG] HttpClient - -Operating system version: 5.0 [DEBUG] HttpClient - -SUN 1.2: SUN (DSA key/parameter generation; DSA signing; SHA-1, MD5 digests; SecureRandom; X.509 certificates; JKS keystore) [DEBUG] HttpClient - -JSSE 1.0: IBM JSSE provider [DEBUG] HttpClient - -IBMJCE 1.2: IBMJCE Provider implements the following: HMAC-SHA1, MD2, MD5, MARS, SHA, MD2withRSA, <snip> [DEBUG] HttpConnection - -HttpConnection.setSoTimeout(0) java.net.SocketException: Socket closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketGetOption(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.getOption(PlainSocketImpl.java:198) at java.net.Socket.getSendBufferSize(Socket.java:526) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:700) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:659) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:527) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.Test.main(Test.java:17) Exception in thread "main" 2.) Plain socket test worked fine with the same setup. 3.) I think I know why the problem only manifests itself with newer HttpClient versions As you can see from the log, something goes wrong when trying to determine send buffer size of the underlying socket implementation. This clearly looks like a bug in the IBM JSSE. Invocation of java.net.Socket.getSendBufferSize is a fairly new addition, which was not there in late February. 4.) Please make sure that version of IBM JSSE that you have is indeed 1.0.3 or newer. HttpClient has been reported to fail with the similar exception when run with IBM JSSE 1.0.2 or below. IBM JSSE 1.0.3 appears to have fixed the aforementioned problem with the send buffer size. Execute your test application with the debug log enabled and watch for a similar statement [DEBUG] HttpClient - -JSSE 1.0: IBM JSSE provider HTH Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Laurent Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 14:19 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Re: IBMJSSE implementation issue Oleg, I try to disabling stale connection and I have still Socket closed. I don't want to take your time but you can do a very simple, test this code in a servlet with WSAD 5.0 (with the default JSSE) HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient(); httpget = new GetMethod("https://www.verisign.com/"); httpclient.executeMethod(httpget); I assume that I am not the only people that use http-client in a servlet in WSAD-WAS 5.0 environment.

If there's something wrong with SSL, in the overwhelming majority of cases it has nothing to do with HttpClient as such. Usually SSL problems are caused by misconfigured JSSE stack. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of our SSL guide and see if the plain SSL socket test works for you http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/sslguide.html Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Laurent Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:44 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Re: IBMJSSE implementation issue Oleg, Thank you for your (quick) response, I edit the Manifest file (I made a copy below) and it seems that the version is 1.03 Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: Ant 1.4.1 Name: com/ibm/jsse/ com/ibm/net/ssl/www/ com/ibm/net/ssl/ com/ibm/net/ss l/internal/www/protocol/https/ com/ibm/net/ssl/www/protocol/http/ com/i bm/net/ssl/www/protocol/https/ com/ibm/pkcs11/ com/ibm/pkcs11/nat/ com/ ibm/security/cert/ com/ibm/sslight/ com/ibm/sslite/ javax/net/ javax/ne t/ssl/ javax/security/cert/ IBM-Reusable-JVM-Compatible: True Build-Level: -20021008 Implementation-Vendor: IBM Corporation Implementation-Title: JSSE Package Implementation-Version: 1.0.3 Laurent ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kalnichevski, Oleg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Commons HttpClient Project" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:34 AM Subject: RE: IBMJSSE implementation issue Laurent, Make sure that the version of IBMJSSE library WSAD is using is 1.0.3.

But I just replaced my commons-httpclient by commons-httpclient-2.0-rc1.jar and now it is still working with SUN but I have a systematic socked closed error If I try this code in a sevlet (with WSAD 5.0) : System.out.println("HttpsTestServlet starting test..."); GetMethod httpget; try { HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient(); httpget = new GetMethod("https://www.verisign.com/"); httpclient.executeMethod(httpget); System.out.println(httpget.getStatusLine().toString()); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } System.out.println("HttpsTestServlet test completed..."); java.net.SocketException: Socket closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketGetOption(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.getOption(PlainSocketImpl.java:214) at java.net.Socket.getSendBufferSize(Socket.java:548) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:700) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:625) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:500) is it a bug ? or I did something wrong ?
