Why am I getting Error #2032 in my Adobe Air application?

Question

I am working on an Adobe Air desktop app. I am getting an Error (Error #2032) when attempting a back-end call using...

<mx:HTTPService id="xmlReadDownloadSizeObject"
    resultFormat="xml"
    result="xmlDownloadSizeResultEvent(event)"
    fault="xmlDownloadSizeFaultEvent(event)"

public function askDownloadSize(xmlString:String):void
{
    var xmlParam:XML = new XML("<files>" + xmlString + "</files>");
    globaltotalSize = 0;
    xmlReadDownloadSizeObject.url = mainDataURL + "downloadsize.ashx";
    xmlReadDownloadSizeObject.method = "POST";
    xmlReadDownloadSizeObject.contentType = "application/xml"
    xmlReadDownloadSizeObject.send(xmlParam);
}

mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent

faultDetail "Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://localhost:5800/downloadsize.ashx" errorID=2032]. URL: http://localhost:5800/downloadsize.ashx"

This error began happening when I changed the back-end call to a copy of the website application on my local machine (http://localhost:5800/downloadsize.ashx). I was initially calling the server directly (https://www.serverName.com/Marathon/).

I have been trying to figure this bug out for an entire day now and am near throwing my hands up in the air! If someone can offer some helpful insight, I would greatly appreciate it!

Let me know if you need some more information. Thanks

It seems as though the back-end code was taking too long to respond. These links helped a great deal...nightlycoding.com/index.php/2014/05/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/8820715/… — Peter Baldwin
If so, probably document what have you done to resolve the issue as an answer to this question. You'll likely get some respect for this. — Vesper

The operation took longer than usual so I changed the max execution time by setting...

import flash.net.URLRequestDefaults;
URLRequestDefaults.idleTimeout = 1200000; // or any amount of time in ms

It should also be noted that Only Adobe® AIR® content running in the application security sandbox can use the URLRequestDefaults class. Other content will result in a SecurityError being thrown when accessing the members or properties of this class.
