I can't say for sure whether the kernels actually drop the socket buffer or not. For the scenario, the connection reset is reported when writing and on both Linux and macOS you can read the previously received bytes in the socket buffer.
But there is a race, even on Linux. If the network is fast enough and you get an RST segment from the other end, kernel the receive buffer is discarded.
So whatever you do on the JDK side, it's probably papering over an application bug that does not show up on some networks by sheer luck.
Thanks, Florian
