   We will try to use okhttp instead of our minimalistic in-house solution. Once we integrate it, the problem will hopefully disappear.

   @cime While I am experimenting with okhttp, I did some research on this issue. What I suspect is the cause for it is related to this StackOverflow Question. Generally it narrows down to Android erroneously keeping alive socket connections already closed by the server.

   Could you please try adding the following header to your connection to check whether this is case:

   var promise = http.request({
           url: "your-url",
           method: "POST",
           headers: { "connection": "close" } // this forces the connection to close explicitly
       });
