Getting it to work by adding the breakpoint does seem strange, though perhaps that's causing a timing change. The error code does indicate a network issue though. Are you running multiple of these simultaneously? Perhaps the delay from the breakpoint is allowing your network connection to clear up.

In any case, can you try it on another network connection? Also, trying on another device might be useful.
