Error description
RPT sometimes doesn't handle proxy server closing connection during NTLM handshake
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During HTTP playback of requests going through a proxy server which responds with a 407 and contains both 'content-length' and 'proxy-connection: close' headers RPT incorrectly ignores the proxy-connection header. This results in the following message in the test log ? Unable to successfully establish a connection to web-server 'XXX' retrieving URI ? 'YYY'. ?Web-server closing the connection after connection was just established.
Problem conclusion
When non-SSL requests go through a proxy server which responds with a 407 and contains both a content-length and proxy-connection: close headers, RPT now reads the EOF sent by the proxy server by issuing an additional read after it consumes the content-length off the socket. This avoids an unexpected server close after RPT issues the first portion of the NTLM handshake.
