The system I'm developing is comprised of a jetty server (v6.1.2rc4) and a php frontend that sends http requests to jetty via curl_exec. The server and the client are on the same machine.

The requests I send can be both POSTs and GETs, I get the same error for either which is:

Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1: Unknown error 99

This is rather cryptic.

It seems that after the first problematic request, some of the following (unrelated) requests also get corrupted.

It looks like jetty is simply refusing the connection, but I can't read more than that into the error message.

I thought it was a problem with the server's configuration, so I tried changing jetty's maxIdleTimeMs, but without success.

Any idea about what to do is welcome

thanks,

Silvio
