Experience tells me it'll suddenly stop again, don't fret ;)  When I 
have something that stop and starts, I usually stop and gather the exact 
information being sent, byte for byte, from a success and a failure and 
compare it.  Using LiveHttpHeaders (for firefox,  here's an IE version 
with a name something like it) you can grab the exact headers, cookies 
(in the headers) and post data sent.

Personally, I would take the time to set up a test I know works, and if 
it ever fails you again, you can run that test again and see what's 
different now.  I'd even go as far as to record the headers for the test 
now, while it works, and save it for when it doesn't.  (I'm not usually 
so proactive, but this could be a serious bear to debug without 
known-good headers/etc, and I'm lazy.)

I'm not one to talk to about 'elegant' code... I'm more in the 'Hey, it 
works, right?' category.  Hehe.

Glad it works!  Enjoy.
