Issue:
When trying to connect to a windows VM using a go program and fetching list of directories in loop for 5 times

If during this operation, windows VM network disconnects or network service restarts, the connection to windows VM breaks with following error:

Error while running command :unknown error Post "http://74.225.159.106:5985/wsman": net/http: timeout awaiting response headers

And then when retry is tried the connection fails with the following errors

:http response error: 401 - invalid content type

I already tried recreating endpoint and client object again during next retry once the connection fails during timeout but still same error occurs

endpoint config used:

winrm.NewEndpoint("", 5985, false, false, nil, nil, nil, 300)

winrm config:

Authentication used for winRM Client and Service: Basic
Allow unencrypted traffic: true

Code used:
// creating a new client object
client, err = winrm.NewClient(endpoint, username, password)

loop start
stdout, stderr, stdcode, err := client.RunWithString("dir", "")
if err != nil {
log.Println("Error creating connection and executing command: ", err)
if max retry done:
return err
else: continue
}
if stdcode != 0 {
log.Println("Error: encountered during executing command: ", err)
if max retry done:
return err
else: continue
} else {
return nil
}

return nil
