I have an application, written in C++. This app dispatches a certain info to a script located on a remote website using HTTP POST requests. The app sends requests with a period from several seconds to several minutes.
The problem is that after about a half an hour of working without errors, the app starts to get a 408 Request timeout error from the web server. Then the app starts to retry posting but the server keeps on responding with 408 Request timeout.
An interesting observation: the error disappears after I access the website using a browser and the app works OK for about 30 minutes after that, then the issue comes back.
What could be the reason and is there any workaround to this?
PS: the app works on a usual PC with XP Workstation. The website is on GoDaddy web server.
thanks in advance
