[Htmlunit-user] java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

[Gabriel E. S. M. <gab...@gm...>]

Hi,

I want to thank the developers of htmlunit for their time and effort.  
I'm hoping you will be able to help me with an issue that I'm stuck in.  
I've been using htmlunit for a few months to download a file from a 
password-protected site, without issues.  This week, without any changes 
to the code, it stopped working.  I am getting a 
"java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" error as soon as I call 
WebClient.getPage(), before trying to log in.  However, I am able to 
access the page on Firefox.  I can also access other pages on htmlunit 
without issues.  Any help you can give me is going to be greatly 
appreciated!

The code below reproduces the error:

final String path = "https://passprogram.mbta.com";
try {
     final WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
     final HtmlPage page1 = webClient.getPage(path);
     System.out.println(page1.getTitleText());
} catch (IOException | FailingHttpStatusCodeException ex) {
     Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

I get the following output:
