So the socket doesn't fall down after 10 seconds (which would
indicate a timeout problem) but when the request is sent and
a response would be expected. This indicates that either the
server or (more likely) some firewall inbetween doesn't like
the request you are sending and simply drops the connection.
A server would be expected to send a 4xx response, that's why
I suspect a firewall. We had one case where a firewall didn't
like the "User-Agent" header that HttpClient sends by default.
Replacing that with the User-Agent of some well-known browser
solved the problem.

The size of the data is not the problem.
a) Can you test with smaller or larger XML data?
That would help to verify that it is not a timeout problem
but occurs always after the full request is sent.
b) Do you have another application that successfully
communicates with that server?
Then you could compare a request sent by that application
with the request sent by your application.
hope that helps,
Roland
