It could be an MTU/MSS issue. See the recent discussion in the

Many thanks. Changing the MTU to 1480 as suggested worked. Indeed as
was mentioned my connection to the IPv6 network is via a tunnel and I'm assuming as a poster commented that someone on the path is not handling
the packaging correctly.

The RFCs say that any conforming implementation MUST handle an MTU of 1280, and may not necessarily handle anything larger. So it makes sense (if you're going to go to the trouble of setting the MTU in the first place) to use that number. The difference in overhead between 1280 and 1400 is negligible.
