Author MSXML 3.0 SP3 Send method fails sporadically over SSL (0x80072EFF)

Hi Everyone,

I am getting msxml3.dll,(0x80072EFF) "The connection with the server
was reset" error sporadically.

The setup is as follows:

My server uses MSXML 3.0 SP3 (Although, version 2.5 SP3 is also
installed)
It POSTs to client's server over SSL
Both servers behind firewalls.
Most of the time, 2 to 5 identical errors come in the span of 1-3 mins
from the same user. (looks like double submits/refreshes)
Errors come in different time of day/night.
And I cannot contact the client, until I can prove (if it is the case)
that the error is on their side.

Here is the code I use:

var obj_Page = Server.CreateObject(MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0);
obj_Page.setTimeouts(45000, 45000, 45000, 60000); <--tried with and
without it
obj_Page.open("POST", "https://clientURL/targetpage.asp", false);
obj_Page.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
obj_Page.send(str_Send);
var str_Return = new String(obj_Page.responseText);


Despite all the efforts of trying to replicate this error I had no
success, except for one case. Not sure if it will be of any help...
I made a "target" test page on my server (in the same virtual folder)
and when I try to POST to it via HTTP works every time; however, as
soon as I switch to HTTPS doesn't work at all.

Could anyone please help?
And Yes, I have searched MSDN, Microsoft Groups, Google, etc. with no
luck.

Thanks in advance.
Vitalii
