Java，服务器客户端TCP通信以RST结束

Question

I'm trying to figure out if this is normal. Because without errors, a connection should be terminated by:

FIN ->
<- ACK
<- FIN
ACK ->

I get this at the end of a TCP connection (over SSL, but i also get it with non-encrypted):

         From     To
1494    server  client  TCP search-agent > 59185 [PSH, ACK] Seq=25974 Ack=49460 Win=63784 Len=50
1495    client  server  TCP 59185 > search-agent [ACK] Seq=49460 Ack=26024 Win=63565 Len=0
1496    client  server  TCP 59185 > search-agent [PSH, ACK] Seq=49460 Ack=26024 Win=63565 Len=23
1497    client  server  TCP 59185 > search-agent [FIN, ACK] Seq=49483 Ack=26024 Win=63565 Len=0
1498    server  client  TCP search-agent > 59185 [PSH, ACK] Seq=26024 Ack=49484 Win=63784 Len=23
1499    client  server  TCP 59185 > search-agent [RST, ACK] Seq=49484 Ack=26047 Win=0 Len=0

The client exits normally and reaches socket.close , shouldn't then the connection be shut down normally, without a reset?

I can't find anything about the TCP streams of java on google...

Here is my code:

Thanks a lot, on a non-SSL connection, I now get a nice orderly connection shutdown without a reset.

BUT apparently this method is not supported by SSLSocket ? When I try it in my SSL client, I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The method shutdownOutput() is not supported in SSLSocket
    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.BaseSSLSocketImpl.shutdownOutput(Unknown Source)

Am I not using it correcty? Or is my SSLSocket not correct? Because with a non-SSL connection there is no problem.

Answer 1

Your packet log shows that the client is sending its last bit of data, and notifying the server of the connection closing.

The server then sends back its last bit of data (the last converted integer, presumably). The client responds with a RST , which indicates that the client socket was closed for both reading and writing - the client is saying "sorry, I didn't catch that last bit of data, I'm not listening anymore".

I am not a Java guru, but it appears that calling the .close() method of the socket's OutputStream is resulting in the .close() method being called on the socket itself. What you actually want to happen here (after the client has written its last integer) is that the shutdownOutput() method is called on the socket.

Answer 2

As caf points out, your problem is that you are calling close when you should be calling shutdownOutput . This is because what you are trying to implement is what's called a half-close, in which each side of the connection closes it's output stream in order to indicate to the peer that there is no more data pending ( EOF ).

For an explanation of the difference between close and shutdown see this short SO answer " close vs. shutdown " and this longer article, " Socket shutdown versus socket close ". Also see, Orderly Versus Abortive Connection Release in Java .

Answer 3

The real problem here is that one end is writing after the other end has already closed its end of the connection. This is an application protocol error.
