This log is from a game server implemented using netty. What can cause this exception ?

java.io.IOException in Netty means your game server tries to send data to a client, but that client has closed connection to your server.

And that exception is not the only one! There're several others. See BadClientSilencer in Xitrum. I had to add that to prevent those errors from messing my log file.

If this happens when using Rider, when building a Docker container. Make sure all you changes are pushed to git, delete your local repo and clone everything again to start from a fresh state. This might have to do with file permissions being messed up but this fixed it immediately for me

It can also mean that the server is completely inaccessible - I was getting this when trying to hit a server that was offline

My client was configured to connect to localhost:3000, but no server was running on that port.

To expand on BalusC's answer, any scenario where the sender continues to write after the peer has stopped reading and closed its socket will produce this exception, as will the peer closing while it still had unread data in its own socket receive buffer. In other words, an application protocol error. For example, if you write something to the peer that the peer doesn't understand, and then it closes its socket in protest, and you then continue to write, the peer's TCP stack will issue an RST, which results in this exception and message at the sender.

java.io.IOException: Connection reset by peer

In my case, the problem was with PUT requests (GET and POST were passing successfully).

Communication went through VPN tunnel and ssh connection. And there was a firewall with default restrictions on PUT requests... PUT requests haven't been passing throughout, to the server...

Problem was solved after exception was added to the firewall for my IP address.

There are lot of factors , first see whether server returns the result, then check between server and client.

rectify them from server side first,then check the writing condition between server and client !

server side rectify the time outs between the datalayer and server from client side rectify the time out and number of available connections !

For me useful code witch help me was http://rox-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net/niotut/src/NioServer.java

// The remote forcibly closed the connection, cancel

// the selection key and close the channel.

    private void read(SelectionKey key) throws IOException {
            SocketChannel socketChannel = (SocketChannel) key.channel();

            // Clear out our read buffer so it's ready for new data
            this.readBuffer.clear();

            // Attempt to read off the channel
            int numRead;
            try {
                numRead = socketChannel.read(this.readBuffer);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // The remote forcibly closed the connection, cancel
                // the selection key and close the channel.
                key.cancel();
                socketChannel.close();
                return;
            }

            if (numRead == -1) {
                // Remote entity shut the socket down cleanly. Do the
                // same from our end and cancel the channel.
                key.channel().close();
                key.cancel();
                return;
            }
...

java.io.IOException: Connection reset by peer

The other side has abruptly aborted the connection in midst of a transaction. That can have many causes which are not controllable from the server side on. E.g. the enduser decided to shutdown the client or change the server abruptly while still interacting with your server, or the client program has crashed, or the enduser's internet connection went down, or the enduser's machine crashed, etc, etc.
