Jmeter test plan getting response message as “Non HTTP response message: Connection reset” and response code as “response code: java.net.SocketException” for 200 threads,forever iteration and 2000 ramp up.

Hi All,
1.When I am running my nCMD&SPA jmeter test plan on the local machine for 200 threads,forever iteration and 2000 ramp up period .API:stats request getting response message “Non HTTP response message: Connection reset” and response code as “response code: java.net.SocketException” for some of https call.I have done the setting of “JVM_ARGS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true” in the Jmeter.bat file and also in Java client-side VM on the local host but still facing the same issue while execution.So please provide suggestion on the above issue.

2.I have also set https API:stats response timeout to “40000” milliseconds and http default implementation to Httpclient4 but no success.

Below is the API:stats response from aggregate report.

Label | Samples | Average | Median | 90%line | Min | Max | Error%

API:stats | 8819 | 38308 | 36947 | 59184 | 1545 | 965060 | 1.03 %

If you're completely sure that the problem isn't at server side you can try the following:

For HTTPClient4 try the following properties:

In user.properties (usually lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation

httpclient4.retrycount=1
hc.parameters.file=hc.parameters

Create "hc.parameters" file at the same location with the following line:

http.connection.stalecheck$Boolean=true

Its due to:

• retry of failing request (idempotent ones only) has been disabled in JMeter 2.10
  
• stale check in HTTP Client 3 and 4 implementations has been disabled in JMeter 2.11 
  

See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more examples of JMeter fine tuning using properties.

Hi Dmitri T,

1.I first set the below properties in jmeter.properties file on local machine

httpclient4.retrycount=1
hc.parameters.file=hc.parameters

remove the comment from hc.parameters file for below line

http.connection.stalecheck$Boolean=true

then executed the Jmeter test plan on local machine for 200 threads,forever iteration and 2000 ramp up period but still error exist in the API:stats

2.Jmeter test plan get run successfully on blazemeter for 200 threads without setting the above properties.
