Hi, Why would you normally see RST, ACK packets apparently in the middle of a transaction? https://www.cloudshark.org/captures/3b405a6ad37b Thanks asked 22 Apr '13, 07:08  Mikecl edited 22 Apr '13, 07:26 |
One Answer:
The RESET (Frame #699) of the client is an answer to the FIN of the server (Frame #697). The whole communication is a SSL/TLS session via port 8080 and apparently windows clients do close a SSL connection with a RESET instead of answering the FIN. See also this question:
Based on the TTL and the window size of the SYN packet, I believe your client is a Windows XP system. I just (re-) verified that behavior with a Windows XP system and IE. So, that's nothing to worry about, as you cannot change it anyways ;-)) Regards answered 22 Apr '13, 07:23  Kurt Knochner ♦ edited 22 Apr '13, 07:26 Thanks Kurt, Not quite clear what you mean, the Application People say that the Client sending the RESET is causing a problem, on the actual client as far as we know we are not closing the connection. This happens to multiple clients. Should I be able to see something different with Windows7 (22 Apr '13, 07:33) Mikecl
I mean, that there is nothing to do for you, as that's default behavior of some windows clients.
What kind of problem?
maybe. I did not check. (22 Apr '13, 12:31) Kurt Knochner ♦ |
