Sending keepalive tickles is luckily not so hard, one can "simply" 
send spaces between the XML tags. That is what all clients I wrote do 
anyway, from time to time, to detect dead connections.

However, even with such keep alive tickles, some proxies might close 
the connection after a predefined time, for security reasons. Not 
that I have ever seen this, but then I don´t want to pretend I am a 
HTTP proxy expert. And I could very well imagine this behaviour.


So it might indeed not work with the particular proxy you are behind :/
