My knowledge of the HTTP protocol is poor to begin with, and my bad memory doesn't improve it, but I vaguely recall that a single HTTP transfer is limited to 5000-odd characters (the precise number being somewhat variable) by the packet sizes used in the network. But normally the software used on each end should hide this sensitivity so that you can deal in complete data streams up to some significantly larger limit.
It could be that something in your config is causing this transfer size to be exposed. It's also possible that your coding style is opening you up to being sensitive to data stream values. In particular, null may be being returned from readLine at the end of the block, even though there is more data in the transmission. (I don't know that such is possible -- just speculating.) Finally, it's possible that the failure is occurring on the transmission end, perhaps due to an "EOF" character embedded in the source data or some such.
