Neil,

Thanks for trying this. I haven't been able to see any obvious pattern when it comes to the interval. I've tried reducing it down to 5 second intervals and the fault does occur, but anecdotally it doesn't seem to cause the fault any more frequently. For the test I left it at 30 seconds to reflect the real scenario we need to use.

OK, even if anecdotal, this is interesting.

Anyway, thanks in advance for sharing your results.

I left the page running for about 2 hours on a machine running IE6 but haven't seen the "read timeout" message so far. I am wondering what the server returns, if anything, when this "read timeout" error occurs. Could you try installing ieHTTPHeaders (http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/monitoring-http-requests) on IE, and run the test again on your side? ieHTTPHeaders should also log the Ajax requests. Maybe seeing what the request/response is when it fails will help. Also, when it fails, you might want to check the orbeon.log on the server to see if you see anything unusual there.
