We haven't seen this behavior before. First you might check to see if you have the PreAuthenticate boolean set. This will enable HTTP keep alives which may be causing your problem upon delayed connections. By setting this boolean to false, a new connection will be established for each method call. This is not optimal for short bursts of method calls, but if you are waiting 3 minutes between polls then a new connection is probably the correct thing to do.

 

 

If this isn't the problem, then I'm not sure what to offer. We are using v1.1 of the framework and I haven't seen this behavior before. Let me know if the PreAuthenticate bit fixes the problem or not.
