Thanks for your message. Which version of Burp are you using? It's possible that there is a small incompatibility between Burp’s SSL and this web site. You can work around this by going to Project Options > SSL. In SSL Protocol, select “Use custom protocols and ciphers”. Let us know if this helps.

Connection reset simply means that a TCP RST was received. This happens when your peer receives data that it can't process, and there can be various reasons for that. The simplest is when you close the socket, and then write more data on the output stream. By closing the socket, you told your peer that you are done talking, and it can forget about your connection. When you send more data on that stream anyway, the peer rejects it with an RST to let you know it isn't listening. possible causes for the error: More commonly, it is caused by writing to a connection that the other end has already closed normally. In other words an application protocol error. The TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) socket is closed because the socket received a close command from a remote machine. In Windows, 'software caused connection abort', which is not the same as 'connection reset', is caused by network problems sending from your end. It can also be caused by closing a socket when there is unread data in the socket receive buffer. Sometimes this can also be due to heavy load causing Server to queue the message and before it can read the message is got timed out at the client end. So you can also check server health and log for excessive load causing this error. http://net-informations.com/java/net/socket.htm
