The "JMeterSocketClosed" page has been changed by Philippe Mouawad:
https://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterSocketClosed

New page:
== Connection Reset since JMeter 2.10 ? ==
If you upgraded recently to JMeter 2.10 or 2.11, you may have noticed increased 
errors of this type:
* Socket closed
* Non HTTP response code: org.apache.http.
* NoHttpResponseException (the target server failed to respond)


=== Explanation ===
The increase of this type of errors can be explained by two settings changes:

* retry of failing request (idempotent) has been disabled in JMeter 2.10
* stale check in HTTP Client 3 and 4 implementations has been disabled in 
JMeter 2.11

=== Why these changes? ===

Previous retry default settings led to increased number of Requests in certain 
type of failures
Previous stale check was a bit expensive, as it applied to every sample.That is 
why the default was changed to disable it.

Retry or stale check can hide issues on Server configuration:

    Server failing to handle correctly Keep-Alive header
    Overwhelmed server refusing connection, retrying can increase load


=== Changing configuration: ===
If you think this server behaviour is OK, then configuration can be changed in 
two places:

==== Enabling retry ====

For HttpClient 4, in user.properties set :
httpclient4.retrycount=0

For HttpClient 4, in user.properties set:
httpclient3.retrycount=0

==== Enabling stale check ====

In user.properties:
hc.parameters.file=hc.parameters

In hc.parameters set:
http.connection.stalecheck$Boolean=true

For HC3 Implementation:

In user.properties:

httpclient.parameters.file=httpclient.parameters

In httpclient.parameters set:
http.connection.stalecheck$Boolean=true

==== New setting in JMeter 2.12 ====
Upcoming version of JMeter will add a setting to add connection timeout  if the 
server does not send Keep-Alive headers
This value is in milliseconds:

* httpclient4.idletimeout=<>
