[Grinder-use] Console Service remote worker issues

[<ani...@co...>]

I am trying to use the console REST API service from multiple remote machines. Here are the issues I face. If anyone has worked this out please advice. 

Steps I carried out: 

Start Console on one machine 
1. java -classpath engine/grinder/lib/grinder.jar -Dgrinder.console.consoleHost=10.2.1.24 -Dgrinder.console.consolePort=8000 net.grinder.Console -headless 
It starts saying - Started SelectChannelConnector@:6373 

Start agent on remote machine 

2. java -classpath engine/grinder/lib/grinder.jar -Dgrinder.consoleHost=10.2.1.24 -Dgrinder.consolePort=8000 net.grinder.Grinder 
connected to console at /10.2.1.24:8000 
2013-09-21 15:10:20,651 INFO agent: waiting for console signal 

3. Start worker on remote machine 

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://10.2.1.24:8000/agents/start-workers -d '{"grinder.duration" : "600000","grinder.processes" : "1", "grinder.threads" : "5", "grinder.runs" : "0", "grinder.script" : "testrun.py" }' 

Message: curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer 

Exception on Console: 
2013-09-21 15:10:21,167 INFO console: Agent testmachine1 [Connected] 
2013-09-21 15:13:45,828 ERROR console: Could not read address details 
net.grinder.communication.CommunicationException: Could not read address details 

Caused by: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 504F5354 

This works only from the local machine with Console, Agent and Worker on the same machine. 

Please let me know if anyone has been able to get console, agent and worker from remote machines. Need it urgently. 

Thank you.
