java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed when using ZAP WEB API

[Vincent John Ramos]

Hello,

Any idea on how could this be resolved? I'm currently using JMETER to automate some ZAP functionalities on a test framework.

I'm getting the error when I use the contextList API, but before that, I have did create a new context which is working fine.

Step by step scenario:

1. Create new context - http://localhost:8080/JSON/context/action/newContext/?zapapiformat=JSON&formMethod=GET&contextName=test_context

    - this works fine

2. View context - http://localhost:8080/JSON/context/view/contextList?zapapiformat=JSON&formMethod=GET

    - I get the SocketException here

3. Delete created context - http://localhost:8080/JSON/context/action/removeContext?zapapiformat=JSON&formMethod=GET&contextName=test_context

    - this works fine too

The sequence works fine if done manually on a browser

Are there any errors in the zap.log file?

Hi Simon, 

Please disregard my question. I was able to come up with a solution. Needed to set the implementation of JMETER to Java. Nothing appears to be wrong with ZAP.

Thank you
