C# System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send

Question

I'm getting this error on just one server running Windows Server 2003:

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

---

Here's my code... Any ideas?

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https:// URL HERE ");
//request.Headers.Add("Accept", "application/xml");
byte[] bytes;
bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(xml);
request.KeepAlive = false;
request.Accept = "application/xml";
request.ContentType = "application/xml; charset='UTF-8'";
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
request.Method = "POST";
request.Timeout = 10000;
request.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = false;

Answer 1

This problem occurs when the client computer cannot send an HTTP request. The client computer cannot send the HTTP request because the connection has been closed or is unavailable. This problem may occur when the client computer is sending lots of data. To resolve this problem, see resolutions A, D, E, F, and O.
