Scott fixed this for me 2 months ago in the latest version of the API.
The post is not really timing out. The attached rpg file contains
some logic previous to the post command that tells the api to close the
socket after it receives the data.

At this point, it has posted your data to the web server, and is waiting
for a response. The web server is not, apparently, sending anything. It
sits and waits til the timeout elapses and then gives up.
My question is: Why doesn't the web server send back data? It's possible
that HTTPAPI is incorrectly performing the POST in this particular
circumstance. (That seems odd, since many people all around the world are
using this POST function, it would be weird that it doesn't work -- but
maybe there's some peculiar nuance that's wrong.)
At any rate, I can't take this any further without more information. I
need to know how to reproduce the problem in order to attempt to fix it.

I don't see anything wrong here -- though the "10" is a bit odd, it
shouldn't really have any effect.

Nonono, HTTPAPI is better than anything else :) Please help us solve the
problem so that everyone can benefit rather than switching to something
else.
Basically, if you can't troubleshoot this problem yourself, please tell me
how to reproduce it.
Thanks
