I can disclose the URL, it's publicly available and always up - yahoo finance csv stock price download. For example: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG+T&f=sl1c1p2
It doesn't get much more highly available than this. I could test other URLs, but as I have mentionned before, the exact same code, with the exact same URL runs marvelously in the emulator, so I very much doubt it has anything to do with the URL. It's also not specific to wi-fi on the handset. I get the same behavior when I disable wi-fi and use only 3G. It would take me a bit of work to create a reproducible snippet, no proprietary concerns - just space. The code snippet I've already posted is simply running in another thread spawned by the UI thread. If I get some time I will try to work on a self-contained demo that reproduces the problem on my handset.
