title: HTTP, 408 Request timeout
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>What could be the reason and is there any workaround to this?</p>
  
  <p>PS: the app works on a usual PC with XP Workstation. The website is on GoDaddy web server.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
