HTTP Request error and network connection issue

[Christian]

Hi Dmitry,

  I want to report the following issue that occurs after RB is being up and running for over 2 weeks.
It starts with getting http request errors "Could not bind socket" and within a few hours later radio streams also starts to dysfonction. It's not staight forward but steams are getting discontinued and after some more time RB disconnects/reconnects continusly from streaming servers.
As you see in the screen shot the google.com DNS resolution and ping is working. Also Dropbox is in synchronisation. So network is fine. See attachement

I know that my environment is not conventional running on Virtual Machine with specific host internal networking but do you have other users reporting this ?

Hi Christian

How many HTTP requests are you using? In the log there are 2 requests, and both of them are failing. Are there any others which still work?

This is very strange as this error usually appears when starting a server, but RB doesn't do it for HTTP request - it acts as a client.
Please open the report file (Settings->Open report folder) and see the full error text, it can be something like

Could not bind socket to port 80: Address already in use.

. Maybe it'll give some clues...

Good news, I already have some ideas which might resolve this.

Regarding other reports... I don't recall any similar reports. There was another issue reported recently, when HTTP request was rejected because of User-Agent property, but that's another case.

Also, when it happens again, please run command line and run the

netstat -n

command and post the results here.

Hi Dmitry,

I am running 2 http requests.
Here is the error I am getting :


12:18:04;error;"HTTP Request (#0) error: Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use.";
12:18:04;error;"HTTP Request (#1) error: Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use.";

I am running 2 RB here is the netstat -n from the one that was restartes 2days 6 hours ago.

If I guess correctly there is a problem with the http request on 46.105.34.64 that is not closing the connexion?

Yes, you're right.
Even when software application closes the socket, Windows keeps it in the CLOSE_WAIT state... When all TCP slots are occupied, it cannot open new connections. That's why it cannot perform HTTP requests and establish server connections anymore.

As we now know the cause, I'm sure it will be fixed in the next update.
