Serving files to Windows Media Player -- ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe (or) Connection reset
Hi all,
I'm trying to debug an application that serves small (20-100k) media
files of various types (.swf, .wmv) to Windows Media Player (primarily
versions 9, 10, 11). The problem I'm experiencing is that I'm seeing a
SocketException with about 50% of the requests. I get one of the two
following log messages:
ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe
ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
Here is the servlet code that is being run when the exception occurs:
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
int count = 0;
while ((count = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, count);
}
in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();
I've scoured this and other forums, and I've only found the
explanation that "this means the client is closing the connection
before the server can send all the bytes". I'd be willing to believe
this if it weren't happening to 50% of 600,000 requests per day. Has
anyone else seen this problem? Any ideas on what's going on?
Best,
Garth

Thanks Hassan.
Windows Media Player actually supports Flash files up to flash version 6.
Best,
Garth

You're sending Flash files to Windows Media Player?? I can imagine
that resulting in a closed connection :-)
