msxml operation timed out on Win7 64

Subject: msxml operation timed out on Win7 64

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Application Development

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.3

Reproducible: Always

I have the following code fragment that runs fine on my 32 bit XP machine with an 8.5.3 client, but when run on a 64 bit Windows 7 Professional machine, it fails with the error "msxml6.dll: The operation timed out." on the "xmlhttp.send()" operation.
The 64 bit Windows 7 machine does have both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of msxml core services installed. It seems more like a Microsoft XML problem than a lotusscript problem, but you guys are pretty smart(and helpful), so I thought I'd try here.

Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
' set weatherStation string to a url
Call xmlhttp.open("GET", weatherStation)
Call xmlhttp.send()
