That sounds like a firewall is killing the connection, due to a
"connection lifetime" time-out rather than a "connection inactive"
time-out.
I've seen a similar problem trying to get an FTP connection through a
firewall that had a 2 minute lifetime time-out, convincing the
administrators that it was not a good idea was impossible - they thought
that *all* internet traffic was like HTTP, short bursts and transient
connections.
We could get the time-out increased, but when the shift rotated they would
automatically re-set the time-out!
