.NET android-server-2.32.0.apk connection and keep alive issues

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 5894

I am using all the .NET bindings in selenium-dotnet-2.33.0.zip and was previously using
android-server-2.21.apk without any issues. I'm targeting a mobile device with Android
4.1.2. 

I have upgraded to android-server-2.32.0.apk and my tests now intermittently run into
connection issues, below is the exception details.

This exception occurs when tests even fail to launch the mobile browser:

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : A exception with a null response was thrown sending
an HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:8080/wd/hub/session/5306df76-a0c7-4efb-9408-15bbd72ffaf6/execute.
The status of the exception was ConnectionClosed, and the message was: The underlying
connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly.

And this exception occurs when tests are in progress:

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : A exception with a null response was thrown sending
an HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:8080/wd/hub/session/6cce95e8-be94-4ca6-8993-56ec7360ef08/element/6/click.

Even I am facing the same issue. I am trying to run the test case on Chrome. Below is
the error details

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: A exception with a null response was thrown sending
an HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:63538/session/3f72078618f7592ce704872d2c1759e0/element/:wdc:1374467456958/value.
The status of the exception was KeepAliveFailure, and the message was: The underlying
connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by
the server. ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: A connection
that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.

Stack trace is : 

System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.HttpCommandExecutor.CreateResponse(WebRequest request)
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.HttpCommandExecutor.CreateResponse(WebRequest request)
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.HttpCommandExecutor.Execute(Command commandToExecute)
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DriverServiceCommandExecutor.Execute(Command commandToExecute)
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2
parameters)
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebElement.SendKeys(String text)

Does anyone have solution for this?

I'm facing the same issue in Ruby with selenium-webdriver gem 2.32.1 talking to webdriver
running with android-server-2.32.0.apk seeing EOFError: End of file reached with Default
http client. And seeing HTTPClient::KeepAliveDisconnected: HTTPClient::KeepAliveDisconnected
using Remote http client which I created to debug the issue.

Selenium project no longer supports the AndroidDriver.

Please use Selendroid instead:
http://selendroid.io/webview.html

And log any issues against that project:
