通过异步http客户端和netty的同级重置连接

Question

I've got a strange problem with Async http client with netty as the http provider, it's a play application calling a remote web service which we don't have access to. It's also important to note that the service is on a SSL-encrypted domain and only reponds to this domain and not the IP. Stacktrace:

The most strange is that this happened suddenly (it's a test environment used by a customer) which makes me believe something is up with either the receiving service or the network, but I can't find out whats wrong because calling the same url with curl works fine.

I've tried to isolate the problem by using the async http client (which play uses for it's WS interface) locally and get the same error, curl works, using javas URL-api also works. Also when I'm using JDKAsyncHttpProvider as the http provider it also works perfectly fine.

   try {
        AsyncHttpClientConfig cf = new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder().build();
        // works if I use JDKAsyncHttpProvider..
        //AsyncHttpClient asyncHttpClient = new AsyncHttpClient(new JDKAsyncHttpProvider(cf));
        AsyncHttpClient asyncHttpClient = new AsyncHttpClient(cf);

        Future<Response> f = asyncHttpClient.prepareGet(nw).execute();
        Response r = f.get();

        System.out.println(r.getResponseBody());
    } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Since I'm using play framework I can't change the provider.

I'm currently stuck and I'm asking for pointers what the problem might be or the next step in my debugging.

Update: with debugging options all on I get the following error:

So something is up with the TLS handshake, is there something more I can do when debugging this issue without access to the remote service?

Update again, got a new error message this time:

Updated, resolved:

The remote host configured the https-certificate to use Server Name Indication, SNI which caused the netty provider to fail. I guess the netty provider doesn't support SNI yet.

Answer 1

When you say "SSL encrypted domain", you mean HTTPS?

If so, you can use the debugging feature in WS SSL: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/DebuggingSSL

or set JSSE's debug flags directly with -Djavax.net.debug=all .

Also, turn on logger.play.api.libs.ws=DEBUG and logger.org.asynchttpclient=DEBUG in application.conf for maximum verbosity.

You can also change the provider directly, if you're willing to use AsyncHttpClient directly, without going through WS. This will mean you may have to mess around with a Promise in the onSuccess() callback, but you create a limited WS-like interface that will return you back a Future if this is a problem.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I was able to resolve it by switching from Java 6 to Java 7. It is a problem with Server Name Indication (SNI) not being supported in Java 6, but is supported in Java 7.
