NoSuchElementException - Error parsing HTTP status line""

[Ching, Vivian M, ALABS]

Does anyone know what this exception indicates on a send?
The webservice I am connecting to does however receive my soap request 
and processes it but I get the following client SOAP exception when sending 
the request so the code does not try to receive the response.

[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error parsing HTTP status line 
"": java.util.NoSuchElementException; tar
getException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error parsing HTTP status line 
"": java.util.NoSuchElementException]

org.apache.soap.transport.http.SOAPHTTPConnection.send(SOAPHTTPConnection.java:354)
        at org.apache.soap.messaging.Message.send(Message.java:123)

Thanks for any help.
