java.io.IOException: unexpected end of stream

Question

getting issue when writing large video file using httpurlconnection.

java.io.IOException: unexpected end of stream on Connection{192.1.4.55, proxy=DIRECT@ hostAddress=192.1.4.55 cipherSuite=none protocol=http/1.1} (recycle count=0)

at com.android.okhttp.internal.huc.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getResponse(HttpURLConnectionImpl.java:388)
at com.android.okhttp.internal.huc.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getResponseCode(HttpURLConnectionImpl.java:501)

response code is here

final InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();
            final ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            final byte[] buffer = new byte[maxBufferSize];
            int bytesRead;
            while ((bytesRead = is.read(buffer, 0, 1024)) != -1) {
                bytes.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
            }
            log.log(INFO,
                    format("{0} took {4} ms", url,
                            (currentTimeMillis() - start)));
            String response = new String(bytes.toByteArray());

The server unexpectedly closed the connection instead of sending a response. Are you sure the request was valid HTTP? — user207421, Jan 29 '16 at 10:33
yes, its working perfectly for file size<5MB. but throwing above error when file size is large. — JosephM, Jan 29 '16 at 11:25
actually we uploading files to server and then server writing those files to another server. so its taking much time. — JosephM, Jan 30 '16 at 03:43
I don't see what the time taken has to do with it. The server is still imposing a size limit. — user207421, Jan 30 '16 at 05:00
I am getting same error..what u have done to solve this?? if you solved the issue please post your answer. — Pranita, Sep 13 '17 at 06:40
I think @EJP got a good point, probably the server is having some size limit... — amit pandya, Jan 11 '18 at 13:19

Check it if you are using OkHttpClient, here is a parameter retryOnConnectionFailure(false). By default it is false, you just make it true then error will be removed. Hopefully because I have same problem and solve just change it.

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .retryOnConnectionFailure(true)
    .build();

Please use BufferedInputStream and BufferedOutputStream to buffer the data for larger files

Hope this Code will Help you .

BufferedReader br = null;
if (conn.getResponseCode() == 200) {
    Log.e("HTTP success code", "" + conn.getResponseCode());
    InputStream inputStream = conn.getInputStream();
    if (inputStream != null)
        br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
} else {
    Log.e("HTTP error code", "" + conn.getResponseCode());
    InputStream inputStream = conn.getErrorStream();
    if (inputStream != null)
        br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
} 
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String output;
while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {
    builder.append(output);
}
Log.e(reqTag + " Response :", builder.toString());
conn.disconnect();

Sometimes this exception can be ignore,you may need to retry.
e.g. use charles proxy you mobile phone wifi,download file,charles Terminate this connection,you will receive same exception.
