Not sure what exactly happens, but can you please update to the latest
snapshot (ss-20140130) and retry? A lot of bugfixes have been committed
recently.
If you still got 408 errors, than lets focus on fixing the 408 errors first
(because there are likely faster to troubleshoot and the other problem
could be connected to what was fixed in 4afd70aea ("BUG/MAJOR: fix freezes
during compression") or other commits).
Please note that with this snapshot you now need to set ssl-server-verify
to none in the global settings, or start with -dV to not check servers
certificate on the backend side [1].

Lukas
