This may be the same problem I experienced several months ago after
downloading the JSDK2.1 to a Windows 95 test machine I have. In attempting
to run Sun's examples that included a doPost, I recall that I was receiving
the "connection reset by peer" message using IE. Since I had a hard time
believing that Sun's examples wouldn't run, my recollection is that I
reinstalled Windows (easy since my test machine is set up with DriveImage
and a virgin Windows 95), the JVM, and JSDK. Anyway, the problem
vanished -- the examples ran fine, and I dropped chasing it.
If you're using Win 95/98, my suggestion is that you try Sun's examples in
their original form. If they do not run, then try everything on another
machine.

this servlet runner came along with the jsdk2.1. That should mean that all
people using this would have the same error or that I have missed some
patches. I also tried out the technique given in Jason Hunter's book 5 Th.
chapter where instead of writing to the PrintWriter returned by getWriter(),
the servlet first builds a ByteArrayOutputStream and then builds the
PrintWriter around it. The advantage of this method is that we will be able
to get the exact length of the output in bytes. The value that I have used
in code that I had sent earlier sets the content length in characters.
