Android HTTPS exception Connection reset by peer

I'm working on an application which is downloading data from a web server.It seems to download data without any problems in the beginning, but a few days ago I start receiving this kind of exceptions : javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Read error: ssl=0x7a6588: I/O error during system call, Connection reset by peer and I'm not sure what cause that problem and how can I fix that. Here is the whole LogCat message :

This is what I got on my UseHttpsConnection method :

    public void UseHttpsConnection(String url, String charset, String query) {

    try {
        final TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
            @Override
            public void checkClientTrusted( final X509Certificate[] chain, final String authType ) {
            }
            @Override
            public void checkServerTrusted( final X509Certificate[] chain, final String authType ) {
            }
            @Override
            public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                return null;
            }
        } };

        // Install the all-trusting trust manager
        final SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
        sslContext.init( null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom() );
        // Create an ssl socket factory with our all-trusting manager
        final SSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();

        if (url.startsWith("https://")) {
            HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier(){
                public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
                    return true;
                }});
        }

        System.setProperty("http.keepAlive", "false");
        HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
        connection.setSSLSocketFactory( sslSocketFactory );
        connection.setDoOutput(true);
        connection.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */ );
        connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Charset", charset);
        connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=" + charset);
        OutputStream output = null;
        try {
            output = connection.getOutputStream();
            output.write(query.getBytes(charset));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            showError2("Check your network settings!");

        } finally {
            if (output != null)
                try {
                    output.close();
                } catch (IOException logOrIgnore) {
                    logOrIgnore.printStackTrace();
                }
        }

        int status = ((HttpsURLConnection) connection).getResponseCode();
        Log.d("", "Status : " + status);

        for (Entry<String, List<String>> header : connection
                .getHeaderFields().entrySet()) {
            Log.d("Headers","Headers : " + header.getKey() + "="+ header.getValue());
        }

        InputStream response = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());

        int bytesRead = -1;
        byte[] buffer = new byte[30 * 1024];
        while ((bytesRead = response.read(buffer)) > 0) {
            byte[] buffer2 = new byte[bytesRead];
            System.arraycopy(buffer, 0, buffer2, 0, bytesRead);
            handleDataFromSync(buffer2);
        }
        connection.disconnect();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        showError2("Synchronization failed!Please try again.");

    } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        showError2("Error occured.Please try again.");

    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        showError2("Error occured.Please try again.");
    }
}

And here is my AsyncTask which I'm using to connect and download the data :

    public class DeactivateCollection extends AsyncTask <Context, Integer, Void> {
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Context... arrContext) {
        try {
            String charset = "UTF-8";
            hash = getAuthHash();
            SharedPreferences lastUser = PreferenceManager
                    .getDefaultSharedPreferences(Synchronization.this);
            int userId = lastUser.getInt("lastUser", 1);

            systemDbHelper = new SystemDatabaseHelper(Synchronization.this, null, 1);
            systemDbHelper.initialize(Synchronization.this);
            String sql = "SELECT dbTimestamp FROM users WHERE objectId=" + userId;
            Cursor cursor = systemDbHelper.executeSQLQuery(sql);
            if (cursor.getCount() < 0) {
                cursor.close();
            } else if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
                cursor.moveToFirst();
                timeStamp = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("dbTimestamp"));
                Log.d("", "timeStamp : " + timeStamp);
            }

            String query = String.format("debug_data=%s&"
                    + "client_auth_hash=%s&" + "timestamp=%s&"
                    + "deactivate_collections=%s&" + "client_api_ver=%s&"
                    + "set_locale=%s&" + "device_os_type=%s&"
                    + "device_sync_type=%s&"
                    + "device_identification_string=%s&"
                    + "device_identificator=%s&" + "device_resolution=%s",
                    URLEncoder.encode("1", charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(hash, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(timeStamp, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(Integer.toString(deac), charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(clientApiVersion, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(locale, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(version, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode("14", charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(version, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(deviceId, charset),
                    URLEncoder.encode(resolution, charset));

            Log.e("","hash : "+hash);
            Log.e("","deactivate : "+Integer.toString(deac));

            SharedPreferences useSSLConnection = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(Synchronization.this);
            boolean useSSl = useSSLConnection.getBoolean("UseSSl", true);
            if (useSSl) {
                UseHttpsConnection(url, charset, query);
            } else {
                UseHttpConnection(url, charset, query);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
        Log.d("","ON PROGRESS UPDATE");

    }
    @Override
    protected void onCancelled() {
        Log.d("","ON CANCELLED");

    } 
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() 
    {
        Log.d("","ON PRE EXECUTE");
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void v) {
        Log.d("","ON POST EXECUTE");

    }
  }

So anyone have an idea how to handle that Exception so I can download the whole data without any exceptions. Or how can I fix that if it's impossible.

Thanks in advance!

What does Connection closed by peer mean?

This means that a TCP RST was received and the connection is now closed. This occurs when a packet is sent from your end of the connection but the other end does not recognize the connection; it will send back a packet with the RST bit set in order to forcibly close the connection.

What does Connection reset by peer mean in email?

SendMail Error: [10054] Connection reset by peer. Answer: This error means that the mail server is shutting down your connection to prevent spam. This happens often this days when people try to send bulk mails at once to a single mail server.

Why does my connection reset by peer?

The error message "Connection reset by peer" appears, if the web services client was waiting for a SOAP response from the remote web services provider and the connection was closed prematurely. One of the most common causes for this error is a firewall in the middle closing the connection.

Actually there are two options that you can do in this situation. You can catch that exception while downloading data over internet and create a function which will start the connection again from where it stops. So you have to find a way to save your progress while downloading the data,because if you're downloading big size of data it's not a good idea to start the process again.

Another thing that you can do is to create a dialog, which will inform the user that there is error while synchronizing and let him to choose if he want to retry the operation or cancel it.If user select Retry option I think it will be a better option to start the connection again from the where it stops again. So you have to save your progress in both ways. I think that's more user friendly.
