Apologies. The community post can be found at http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/120964/sporadic-server-error-a-connection-failure-occurred. Here's the use case: var curr_marble = {id:1); var list = {id:2025}; var user = {username:'USERNAME',password:'PASSWORD'}; var auth = 'Basic '+Titanium.Utils.base64encode(user.username+':'+user.password); var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient(); xhr.setTimeout(0); xhr.onerror = function(e) { Titanium.API.info(e.error); }; xhr.onload = function() { Titanium.API.info(this.responseText); }; xhr.open("POST","http://api.marblejarapp.com/1/marbles.json"); xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization',auth); if (Titanium.Network.online) { xhr.send({marbletype:curr_marble.id,list:list.id}); } else { alert("Network unavailable, please try again."); }; *My username and password have been obfuscated for security purposes. Happy to send you actual login credentials. Originally I had though the sound (local mp3) that played before the HTTP request was initiated was causing the error but as it turns out it happens regardless. Additional examples and files available.
It seems the user has [found the answer](http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/120964/sporadic-server-error-a-connection-failure-occurred) but not updated this ticket. :/ The solution was:
xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient({enableKeepAlive:false});Closing after 30 days of inactivity.
