Hi Andreas, are you sure this is the same issue?
What I observe when testing your described scenario is a NPE in ServerHandler#outputReady (ContentOutputBuffer outBuf as context attribute synapse.response-source-buffer seems to be null. Reason: In DefaultNHttpServerConnection#consumeInput the HeadLine is parsed using BasicLineParser which throws a parse exception "Invalid request line: <bufferconent>" which is caught in AbstractMessageParser and wrapped inside a ProtocolException reusing the message. This one is again caught in DefaultNHttpServerConnection as a subclass of HttpException, resetting the input and calling exception() on the NHttpServiceHandler (in our case LoggingNHttpServiceHandler). We are now in "Synapse land" logging the error and delegating to NHttpServiceHandler#exception (in our case ServerHandler). We don't get a request line, thus defaulting to HTTP 1.0 and construct a BAD Request response (400), calling #commitResponseHideExceptions. We are writing the response LoggingNHttpServerIOTarget#produceOutput --> DefaultNHttpServerConnection#produceOutput --> LoggingNHttpServiceHandler #outputReady --> ServerHandler#outputReady int bytesWritten = outBuf.produceContent(encoder); causes NPE, as outBuf is null. This runtime exception is caught in BaseIOReactor#writable and delegated to the registered exception handler (in our case an anonymous inner class of HttpCoreNIOListener with the following implementation: ioReactor.setExceptionHandler(new IOReactorExceptionHandler() { public boolean handle(IOException ioException) { log.warn("System may be unstable: IOReactor encountered a checked exception : " + ioException.getMessage(), ioException); return true; } public boolean handle(RuntimeException runtimeException) { log.warn("System may be unstable: IOReactor encountered a runtime exception : " + runtimeException.getMessage(), runtimeException); return true; } }); I wondering a bit about the return value. Taken from the JavaDoc of the interface IOReactorExceptionHandler#handle True if it is safe to ignore the exception and continue execution of the I/O reactor; if the I/O reactor must throw {...@link RuntimeException} and terminate Hmm, is it really safe to proceed here? We do not test any detail of the RuntimeException. To me this looks wrong. This puts us in an endless loop. I guess Asankha should be in the best position to comment on this. I just wanted to throw in my quick observations on this one.
