Maybe I missed it, but which version of http_post are you using ?

In today's world if I'm using RPG I tend to the QSYS2 version of the http functions vs the SYSTOOLS versions. 

Might be worth trying the newer ones if you're using SYSTOOLS versions. 

Also testing with CURL, Python or something else might be interesting to see if you see similar results. 

At least then you can truly narrow it to network issues vs particular language version API issues.

My two cents.
