unfortunately it is definitely not an issue with the timeout limit.
It would appear that server B is blocking server A from opening a
socket on the specific port I am trying to use.
connecting to a database on B from A works fine.
The people responsible for server B say that they have not made any
changes to the server B configuration, however I am starting to beg to
differ.

I'll give curl I try, but at this point a I doubt it will make much of
a difference.
