Ok, I had the same issue with tomcat7.

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Connection reset
[INFO] Retrying request
Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2iplover

I could not get it to work with

mvn tomcat7:redeploy 

as mentioned here.

My WAR wasn't very large, just 4MB.

Here was the root problem and solution

It is important that your tomcat-users.xml has the correct roles setup. I ONLY had the role manager setup. Adding manager-script seems important and completely solved my problem.
