[jersey-dev] ssl server experiencing CLOSE_WAIT pileup

[John Calcote <john.calcote@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've seeing a CLOSE_WAIT pile up on my server that ultimately causes the server to become completely unresponsive until we either kill the CLOSE_WAIT sockets with ss or restart the application. 

I found this reference to a stack overflow issue that said (essentially) there's an issue in the JSSE SSL implementation that can cause this problem on a regular basis:

Does anyone know if there's a thing I need to do on my (trivially configured) jersey ssl service to ensure that when clients send a FIN on a connection, the server actually closes the connection on his end?

Thanks,

John
