    Hi,

     

    Are you using an IP address instead of a hostname in your requests in ReadyAPI?  If so, please use a hostname instead.

Hi arunbharath,

Unfortunately the error response doesnt really tell us much other thsn the http connection was reset.

Connection reset response would typically be cos of the remote endpoint youre hitting and nothing to do with ReadyAPI!

Is there anything that makes you think ReadyAPI! is causing your endpoint to kill the socket?

Could your endpoint be killing the connection cos youre hammering it with ReadyAPI!?

Have you any more data to go on than this?
Can you check the logging on the endpoint youre hitting? There might be some indication why the connection is reset.

Sorry for late reply. Before trying your approach, I updated my ReadyAPI to 3.2.5. But Unfortunately after my upgrade none of my test case is running. I'm getting below exception
