I,ve got a Problem here, I have some code that works perfect in 1.7 and above but once I switch to 1.6 I always get this error:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:168)
I think the problem is with the HttpsURLConnection but I can't figure out what. Here is how I initialize the HttpsURLConnection:
// create URL Object from String
URL url = new URL(https_url);
// set IP Adress for X509TrustManager
caTrustManager.setHostIP(url.getHost());
TrustManager[] trustCerts = new TrustManager[]{
caTrustManager
};
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
//'ArrayList' where the data is saved from the URL
ArrayList data = null;
// open URL
HttpsURLConnection httpsVerbindung = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
httpsVerbindung.setSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
// Read the data from the URL
data = PerformAction.getContent(httpsVerbindung);
And here is the Methode where the Error happens:
Class = PerformAction
Methode = getContent(HttpsURLConnection con):
public static ArrayList getContent(HttpsURLConnection con) {
// The ArrayList where the information is saved
ArrayList infoFromTheSite = new ArrayList();
// check if connection not null
if (con != null) {
BufferedReader br = null;
try {
// !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
// !!!! **Error happens Here** !!!!
// !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String input;
// go through all the Data
while ((input = br.readLine()) != null) {
// save to ArrayList
infoFromTheSite.add(input);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logging.StringTimeFail("Fehler mit dem BufferedReaders");
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (br != null) {
try {
br.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(PerformAction.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
}
}
I hope my problem is kinda clear and someone understands me :P
Thanks for taking your time to go over my problem!
EDIT
So I found out with Wireshark that the Packets that Fail are Smaller then the ones that succed (157 bytes = fail; 208 bytes = true)
I was thinking maybe he isnt encrypting the Data in the IP Packet oder isnt sending the Certificate.
I also noticed that the SSL Handshake is successful, but once the Client requests data it fails and the Server anwsers with:
Connection Reset
(Yes the Server is calling "Connection Reset")
I am really lost here :D
As @Robert mentioned in the comment:
If the server you are communicating with is securely maintained you will have problems with Java 1.6 because it does only support the insecure versions of SSL/TLS (no TLS 1.1 and 1.2 support and only outdated ciphers).
Fix: Upgrade your Java version.
If you are unable to upgrade your Java version, you can use Apache HTTPClient.
