Weird website caching(?) issue

I have a 1030 connected to GCM on an iPhone 5.

In my app that opens webpages, the app can't open the website unless it's been opened by something else recently.

Is it any website or just one? What version of iOS?

There aren't many websites that my app can use https://btcnj.com/grldemo/grldemo.php.

The app timed out trying to access it but worked fine after I accessed it using another browser.

iOS 10.3.3 (the last version for the ancient 5).

Are you using openWebPage() or makeWebRequest()? From your first post is sounded like openWebPage().

If it's makeWebRequest(), what's the error code you see?

makeWebRequest()

I think it was a 404 (almost certain). I was surprised because I knew the pages existed. That's why I used another browser.

It's kind of hard to repeat because it seems to take a while (a few days?) for it to happen.

404 would be a "not found" error, so not a timeout. Can you contact anyone on the server side to find out what they see?

It sound like the request makes it to the server and the server is responding with the 404. Does it start working again if you just wait a while and try again (a few minutes)?

Retrying it doesn't work (I didn't necessarily "wait enough of a while". It works if I access it from another browser.

That will be me. I'll have to try it again in a few days.
