Socket Exception: connection reset by peer

Question

In our application, we are using docker container to run the web services.

When I am trying to connect to web services, sometimes I am getting the following error.

An error occurred while sending the request. Unable to read data from the transport connection: Connection reset by peer.

Stack Trace

I went through many threads but that doesn't help.

Could you please suggest how to look further into that?

Thanks!
