title: SSRS Error - The request failed with an empty response
body: <p>We have an application running on a clients site using the WinForms reportviewer to connect to a reporting services installation on the clients server.</p>
  
  <p>Since yesterday, the report viewer is throwing up the following error - 'The request failed with an empty response'.</p>
  
  <p>This happens intermittently i.e. sometimes the reports open ok, sometimes they get this error in the report viewer.</p>
  
  <p>We're completely at a loss as to what might be causing this, as the application has been connecting to reporting services for over a year with no issues.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
