I am implementing a heartbeat endpoint/route using play 2.2.1 built with Scala 2.10.2 (running Java 1.7.0_45). When
the heartbeat endpoint is called, I want the controller to make http calls to localhost. If all of those
calls are ok, then the heartbeat endpoint will return an OK http response.
When I execute the following url from curl, I get the expected 200 response:
http://localhost:9000/oauth2/token. I am also able to telnet to localhost 9000.
I am also able to use WS successfully with an external URL:
WS.url("http://www.example.com").withHeaders("Content-Type" -> "application/json").get()
However, when I execute it from within my play app, I get a 500 tcp_error response.
WS.url("http://localhost:9000/oauth2/token").withHeaders("Content-Type" -> "application/json").get()
WS.url("http://127.0.0.1:9000/oauth2/token").withHeaders("Content-Type" -> "application/json").get()
WS.url("http://HostName:9000/oauth2/token").withHeaders("Content-Type" -> "application/json").get()
Here is the exact error message I receive:
Network Error (tcp_error)
A communication error occurred: "Connection refused"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
For assistance, contact your network support team.
Do I need to configure something to allow a play application to make calls to itself? Is this a network problem on
my box? If so, why do curl and telnet work? If a network issue, then it must be a jvm specific networking issue?
Could it be a security problem with play calling to itself? Not sure where to go next.

i am having an application running inside a gateway,
this application is a coap-server coded using the libcoap library
the server is running perfectly fine, the ip:port is tested using different commands such as nmap , telnet and others, each time it shows that the port is open and the connection is a success.
My problem is that there's no response from the server, wireshark is showing that the requests are being re-transmitted until timeout.
After some research, i thought that the gateway doesn't support NAT loopback, so i tried sending requests from another connection (i used my phones 4G). I even disabled firewall on the gateway too, But no success either.
UPDATE:
after some digging, i managed to receive a response from the server, but only when using TCP connection, the UDP still sends requests until timeout,
from a logical point of view, what may be the problem here ?
note: UDP is a must in this application so i cant just ignore it.
I have a Vert.x app that gets HTTP requests as a Server and later down the road sends the data (HTTP request as well) as a Client to several other servers (more than one Client exits).
I see in the logs that sometimes I get io.vertx.core.VertxException: Connection was closed
but with no other info.
How can I know which connection was the one that was actually closed? I have more than one connections active.
I tried to add exceptionHandler to HttpServer and to HttpClientRequest, but they both were never called.
The io.vertx.core.VertxException: Connection was closed can be triggered for both client connections and server connections.
You'd get these errors on your HTTP client connection if the remote server closed the connection before completing the response, and you'd be able to capture them by setting the appropriate handlers on the client request (With Vert.x 4, you'd do something like ...send().onFailure(err -> /* handle the failure */) ), which I believe you already do.
You'd get these errors for the HTTP server connection if the remote client disconnects, either before your server completed the response, or - if the connection has keep-alive enabled (which is the default for HTTP/1.1 connections) - even after the response was sent.
In case the client closed the server connection before the response was fully sent, you should be able to capture and handle there errors in the HttpServer.exceptionHandler(), as I'm sure you already do.
In case the client closed the server connection after the response was fully sent, while it is in a keep-alive state, then there is no HttpServerRequest (or RoutingContext if you are using vertx-web, as you should) where the exception happens in, so Vert.x would just disregard the error (see here for the code).
So why do you still see those errors in the log? It could be various things because that exception is also used to handle EventBus connections and all kinds of internal network streams managed by Vert.x servers - and all without a stack trace (the actual exception instance being thrown is created statically here), so Vert.x kinds of sucks in that way.
My recommendation: make sure you attach error handlers to everything (pay attention to websocket connections or HTTP response streams, if you use them) and if you still get those errors in the logs - maybe you can just ignroe them as the commenter suggested.
Given a URL that ends with .svc and that is supposed to run a SOAP web service, how can I get some data from it?
I tried:
to access it via a web browser
to access it via the Python's library Zeep
to access it via the Microsoft utilitary svcutil.exe
In all cases, I get a timeout error:
Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time.
Does it mean that the web service does not work, or that I do things the wrong way?
Importantly - there is a big distinction between "service not active" (and by that I mean no listener on port 80), and "port not open in firewall".
If the problem were simply that you didn't have a service listening on port 80, you would have gotten something like "connection reset" or "connection rejected" as an error.
Instead, you appear to have gotten a timeout, which implies that either the SYN from the client doesn't reach the server, or the SYN/ACK from the server doesn't reach the client. [ You could verify this by doing a packet capture for port 80 on both client and server ]
I would be tempted to check any firewall in front of the server to see that it's letting port 80 traffic through from your client.
Diagnosing Connectivity Issues
Without more details it is difficult to say, but given your timeout error:
Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time.
This indicates a network connectivity error at the TCP level, so it is likely web service is not active on the port your are using (default of 80 for http, 443 for https).
In a comment you said you pinged the URL and it responded normally - I assume this means you pinged the hostname. If this is responding normally it means the server is active, but that doesn't tell you anything about the availability of the web service on that server.
telnet %hostname% %port%
where %port% is 80 for http or 443 for https, or something else if there is a port number in the URL you are using (e.g. http://somehost.somewhere.com:port/path.scv)
If ping works and telnet does not connect, then the service is not active.
I suspect this is the case. If the service was active and it was simply that you requesting the data incorrectly, I believe you'd get a different error message - e.g. a valid HTTP response with status code 500 or 404 or similar.
Getting Data from a Web Service
As to your original question as to how to get data from it - once you verify that the service is active, the method to get the data will depend on the specification of the service - i.e.:
which HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) does it support
what parameters it requires
what format it requires the parameters in
are the parameters in the query string or POST body.
To interact with a web service there are many command line tools that can be used, as well as the options you have tried, including:
POSTMan Google Chrome Plugin
curl
wget
In windows Powershell, the Invoke-WebRequest
Getting Data from a SOAP Web Service
As you have said it is a SOAP web service, if you have the URL for the wsdl, you can often interract with it using Powershell SOAP WebService Proxies.
The wsdl location varies, but is often at a URL that looks something like.
http://host/path.svc?wsdl
http://host/path.svc/?wsdl
http://host/path/?wsdl
Also if it's configured correctly, just loading the URL in a browser will present a page with a link to the wsdl.
The general idea is:
$URI="http://hostname/path.svc?wsdl"
$Proxy = New-WebserviceProxy $URI –Namespace X
$Proxy | get-member -MemberType Method
This will return a list of methods on the proxy that you can invoke as powershell methods. Any types defined in the wsdl that are needed for arguments, or returned from methods will be available within the namespace X. Invoking the methods will proxy the request to the service, taking care of serializing parameters and serializing results into powershell objects.
I have a server written on C++ REST SDK.
There's http_listener which listens to "http://localhost:34568".
When I try to send a request in browser or from the client to localhost it works fine and I get the responses from my server. But the point is to use the application in network. And here where the problem comes.
When I try to request the server from the other PC using IP(192.168.1.103:34568) I get "HTTP Error 400. The request hostname is invalid."
I'm aware that that could be some firewall issues but it's turned off. Also I tried to set port rules in brandmauer and it didn't help.
And even more! I got XAMPP running Apache server and when I do the same thing but with (192.168.1.103:80) I do get the response from Apache and have an access.
Anybody had something similar or somebody knows what the problem is about?
Listen to local ip address or to your network name (dns):
"http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:34568" or
"http://your_network_name:34568"
So, if you have multiple network adapters, you can choose which one.
Good day,
I've established very simple Python server (Twisted framework) on localhost:80. It works ok with telnet - i can send and recieve simple messages. But i need to connect Swift iOS app client to this server. App running on simulator.
I'm using Socket_IO_Client_Swift framework. At this moment, i've just created socket object with "localhost:80" parameter and call connect() method on start of application.
Server can see the signal from client, but client disconnect immidietly after connection with this message:
Got event: disconnect, with items: Optional((
"Invalid HTTP upgrade"
What can i do to fix this, and what is HTTP upgrade?
Thanks
