        The CIMExportClient uses a lazy reconnect algorithm.  A reconnection
        is necessary when the server (listener) sends a Connection: Close
        header in the HTTP response or when a connection timeout occurs
        while waiting for a response.  In these cases, a disconnect is
        performed immediately and the _doReconnect flag is set.  The
        connection is re-established only when required to perform another
        operation.  Note that in the case of a connection timeout, the
        challenge status must be reset in the ClientAuthenticator to allow
        authentication to be performed properly on the new connection.
