java.net.SocketException: Connection reset while reading from a stream

Question

I've developed some code that can access a url and reads a stream from it , but when I'm trying to get the stream I get java.net.SocketException .Here is the stack trace:

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
    at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:168)
    at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:218)
    at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(BufferedInputStream.java:258)

    at utils.AljazemArabicWordsGrabber.grab(AljazemArabicWordsGrabber.java:46)
    at utils.TranslatorThread.run(TranslatorThread.java:39)

and here is the code that causes the exception:

public String[] grab(EnglishWord englishWord) {

    try {
        aljazemURL = new URL(urlLink + englishWord.getLemma());
        connection = aljazemURL.openConnection();

        //connection.connect();
    //    System.out.println("connection:" + connection);
      ////  stream = connection.getInputStream();


    //    reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
        in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream())); // the exception occurs here..


        while ((decodedString = in.readLine()) != null) {
            if (decodedString.contains("<div class=\"default_to_trans_ar\" style=\"display:block\">")) {
                decodedString = decodedString.replace("<div class=\"default_to_trans_ar\" style=\"display:block\">", "");
                decodedString = decodedString.replace("</div>", "");
                slicedWords = decodedString.split(",");
                for (String slice : slicedWords) {
                    System.out.println(slice);
                }
                //  System.out.println(decodedString);
            }

        }

        in.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return slicedWords;
}

I checked this one , before I post my problem , and it actually doesn't help — Khafaga, Jul 12 '12 at 01:20
'Actually doesn't help'? It lists all three possible causes. — user207421, Jul 12 '12 at 02:11

Are you sure the GPS is sending a line (ended with a new line)?

If not I would use read() repeatedly to get all the data it sends (until an EOF is reached)

What GPS are you talking about? – Khafaga Sep 30 '12 at 16:26
