XML POST requests not working on 3.0.0 and above

[FroddeB]

I've tried to isolate the problem as much as possible.

• Problem replicates on multiple machines
• Problem replicates on versions down to 3.0.0-rc1 (2.4.2 and below works fine)
• JSON POST requests works fine

Something is stopping me from using POST requests using XML on 3.0.0 and above, I'm not sure why.

Interestingly, I am able to make requests with xml just fine.

That error code is defined as:

ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer): A connection was forcibly closed by a peer. This normally results from a loss of the connection on the remote socket due to a timeout or reboot. Commonly encountered via the http and net modules.

So it sounds like some network/server issue. Between 2.4.2 and 3.0 the http library being used has changed, and there have been other changes. Could you double check that both the action and the connection config are setup correctly? Does your network require the use of a proxy or something special?

Sorry for the long wait for the reply, the connection config is exactly the same just checked again now running 3.1.1 and issue still persists however with the correct error log "HTTP POST Request failed" instead of "HTTP GET Request failed".

My network has no restrictions or proxies running. Again still works fine with 2.4.2 below and POST request with Content Type set to application/xml is the only affected.

I'm not able to reproduce this with a simple express server
