It looks like a proxy in the middle is dropping your connection without
sending data, the recv() call failed. Since you got the 301 redirect
correctly, that indicates the Elecraft http server is able to at least
return headers, you're just having issues with the content body, which is
normally where a transparent proxy comes into play (they tend to just
forward headers). Very likely, the proxy is having difficulties getting a
response from the Elecraft server/having an issue forwarding the response
along, so you never receive the response body. This could be an internal
networking issue within Verizon, a networking issue between Verizon and
Elecraft, a mis-configuration/problem on/with the proxy, or something on
the Elecraft server side that's preventing the connection.

All of the above are unfortunately in the hands of the Verizon engineers
(or potentially the company Elecraft uses for hosting if they are blocking
the requests, but seeing as headers are being passed, more than likely it's
on the proxy side). Of course, this assumes there is a transparent proxy in
the middle, it's hard to know for sure, but seems the likely cause.
