Software caused connection abort: recv failed

[Janwillem Borleffs]

Hello everybody,

Using the following snippet:

<snippet>

System.setPrope rty("javax.net. ssl.trustStore" ,
"/var/keystores/somehost.keysto re");

// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
X509TrustManage r trustMgr = new X509TrustManage r() {
public void checkClientTrus ted(
X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1)
throws CertificateExce ption {
}

public void checkServerTrus ted(
X509Certificate[] arg0,String arg1)
throws CertificateExce ption {
}

public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssu ers() {
return new X509Certificate[0];
}
};

SSLContext context = SSLContext.getI nstance("SSL");
context.init(nu ll, new TrustManager[] { trustMgr }, null);
HttpsURLConnect ion.setDefaultS SLSocketFactory (context.getSoc ketFactory());

URL url = new URL("https://somehost/");
URLConnection con = url.openConnect ion();
con.getInputStr eam();

</snippet>
I keep getting the following error:

java.net.Socket Exception: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

I googled for the cause, only to find that many people have the same problem
with nothing conclusive.

Anyone knows what's causing the problem?
TIA,
JW

The private key was missing, so the certificate chain was sent without any
authentication. After defining the pkcs12 file as the
javax.net.ssl.k eyStore, the certificates where applied along with the
private key...
