In my case (and several others that I've read about)
it's a firewall in between which is timing out. Since the connection
is started by the server, the connection is allowed until that
initial connect times out. If the reply takes longer than that
timeout, it comes back as a new request initiated by client -----
and in my case, I needed a filewall rule to permit it.
YMMV, but do check this if you have any firewalls!
