Chances are your issue is the same as
mine was. The CPE (router) has a
built in watchdog timer that cuts all sockets after a few minutes. Using
port 443 wouldn't make any difference. To the average web user this
isn't an issue because each time a page is opened/refreshed a new socket
is created, thus a new timer engages. The same may be said for services
such as pop3/smtp/etc. where you're engaging a new socket each time you
pop or send email. As long as the attachments aren't that big where you
may exceed the watchdog's timer you'll never notice this.
