Dear Tom,
I would say this could be the same problem I was having. It is an interaction between MS IIS as a server and Sun Solaris as the OS on a client. The IIS does not send an end of file/transmission at
the end of a page (randomly) and solaris times-out waiting for it. References to it can be found on this list during January as:
Request Post error useragent.pm line 227
Can't call method "request" on an undefined value at ...
Workaround for LWP/Solaris missing EOF bug
One of which includes this:
