HTTPClient 4.1 SSL Socket Disconnects

[vi...@nomura.com]

Hello all,



We have a web application that uses apache http libraries 4.1. It connects to other apps over both HTTP and  HTTPS to retrieve content.



After running well for a few days, we sometimes see exceptions ( details below ) during content retrieval over *HTTPS*.   NOTE no issues seen when using HTTP.



The libraries we use are



httpclient-4.1.jar

httpclient-cache-4.1.jar

httpcore-4.1.jar

httpmime-4.1.jar



I have searched the mailing lists and haven’t found anything specific to the issue. The HTTPclient 4.1.x release notes do suggest a number of improvements and fixes for connections over SSL. So am wondering if these could have a bearing.



Does anyone know or could someone comment why this could be an issue over HTTPS ?
