XP: "An existing connection was forcibly closed" ECONNRESET

Dmitri Kondratiev

Hello,
I am running Ruby 1-185-21 on Win XP without any proxy enabled.
When trying to connect to HTTP server (both server and client are my
Ruby scripts) at *localhost* I get this error:
"
c:/usr/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133:in `sysread': An existing
connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (Errno::ECONNRESET)
"

Interesting facts:
1) Firefox works without any problems with my Ruby server!!!
2) IE doesn't work with my Ruby server!!!
3) My client works fine with all other HTTP servers on the Internet,
except for my Ruby server on localhost :(

(see bellow complete trace of this error and source of my simple server
and client)

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dima

Dima,

You're connecting to the server using HTTP, so the server should
return valid HTTP header, i.e.:

class TimeServer < GServer
def initialize(port=10001, *args)
super(port, *args)
end
def serve(io)
str = "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\n#{Time.now.to_i}"
puts str
io.puts(str)
end
end

Haven't tried it on Windows, but this works on Mac whereas your
version fails as you described.

Best,

Mike,
This doesn't help. Before, eventually looking into the source of
gserver.rb I tried my code on Debian Linux - same error. Which is good,
at least Ruby is consistent accross platforms.
If you look at gserver.rb you will see that this server closes client
socket right after it servers it, which he must not do and which
perfectly explains why gserver.rb does not work correctly.
Also see my coments (#dk:) inline:
Dima,

You're connecting to the server using HTTP, so the server should
return valid HTTP header, i.e.:

class TimeServer < GServer
def initialize(port=10001, *args)
super(port, *args)
end
def serve(io)
str = "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\n#{Time.now.to_i}"
puts str
~~~~~~~~
#dk: This may confuse: server itself outputs its own response
io.puts(str)
end
end

Haven't tried it on Windows, but this works on Mac whereas your
version fails as you described.

gserver.rb closes client socket right after serving it :(
From gserver.rb:

client = @tcpServer.accept
@connections << Thread.new(client) { |myClient|
begin
myPort = myClient.peeraddr[1]
serve(myClient) if !@audit or connecting(myClient)
rescue => detail
error(detail) if @debug
ensure
begin
myClient.close
rescue
end
@connectionsMutex.synchronize {
@connections.delete(Thread.current)
@connectionsCV.signal
}
disconnecting(myPort) if @audit
end
}
end

I don't have anything useful to say about the possible problem in
gserver,
but if you're interested in an alternative approach to your application,
look at the EventMachine library in Rubyforge.

Thanks, I am looking at it now. I need some good messaging framework for
Ruby IPC, maybe EventMachine is just what I need!

Thanks again!
Dima
