Connection refused as reported by TBC/TBL but works from browser

[Nicolae Marasoiu]

Hi,

We had 2 instances where a web service over http using basic auth reported "Authentication failed", but with "Connection refused" as the stack cause (ConnectException).

Restarting TBC solved it. With TBL we did not restart yet.

However, "Connection refused" is supposed to be a response from the remote server host stating that the OS found the port being not listened, or having full accept queue. Simply restarting the client seems contradictory to solve this, but it did.

Please advice,
