Hi Paul,

Yep, looks like the server is not sending the response quickly enough.   
Setting the timeout to a higher value should fix the problem.

A higher timeout could certainly decrease performance.  I guess it  
depends what is more important for your application, consistent method  
execution time and higher throughput, or better method reliability and  
potentially lower throughput.
