The error occurs when a socket connection between a server and client is
broken. A browser, for instance, establishes a connection the the server and
it remains open until the server sends a response. If the browser for
whatever reason closes the connection before the server response is
complete, you will see this error.
This is a know problem since IE closes the socket on http/1.0 connections
when getting the headers. This is a "feature" (bug) that may save bandwidth
but causes the socket reset error messages.
If you use Tomcat 4.0 or Netscape, that should fix your problem. Tomcat 4.0
uses http/1.1. Netscape's implementation works as outlined in the http
specs.
