Please see my comments inline.
Does the server/service report (usually log) anything relevant to your access/connection/request/whatever? In particular, if it logs something about "server error" you need to look there. If it too reports seeing a reset, coming from your direction, then you need to look for something in the network in between. <Chitra> The server application is also within our control only.Hence we were able to monitor the server also. Its clear from the server logs that server is getting the request and sending the response. So i dont suspect the network. If this is a network problem, it may be easier to look for it using clear data. Do you have the option of connecting to these servers/services without SSL (or with SSL but using an eNULL ciphersuite) and if so does it have the same problem? (Obviously you should do that only with nonconfidential data. If there is higher-level authentication e.g. password, use a temporarily assigned and immediately disabled test id, etc.) <Chitra> We have tried that also. This problem doesnt happen when we access the http webservice. This occurs only when we access the service in https mode. Is there any way we can decrypt the packets and view the packets sent in https mode. I am an novice in openSSL and not very sure how to use SSL using eNULL ciphersuite. Since we are depending on gSOAP generated stubs, and these stubs use openSSL dlls (ssleay.lib and libeay.lib) for the https webservice calls. While debugging, we found that the SSL_read() returned this error (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL). There was another entry in this forum stating the same problem, and they have mentioned that this is a configuration issue. This can be resolved by changing the ciphersuite to default. But its not clear where should we change it , in the server or in the client?
