We are setup with iATS for credit/debit card and ACH transactions and are in the last stages of testing. One time card and ACH contributions are working. For the sake of testing, we are doing daily recurring contributions to make sure the mechanism works. We haven't yet tested recurring ACH. Recurring credit card transactions are going through, but with mixed results.
Issue: Within the last week, we've gotten intermittent errors during the recurring contribution scheduled job that prevents the contribution from being marked Complete in Civi. The error is "Error Fetching HTTP Headers."
Symptoms: Two transactions with through perfectly (Aug 17 12:00am; Aug 23 12:00am) and emailed automatic receipts. The other transactions, however, are processing (visible in iATS' journal and with my bank), but marked Pending (Incomplete Transaction) in Civi. The Civi source reads: iATS Payments Recurring Contribution (id=2) Unexpected Server Error, please see your logs. Emails for these Pending transactions did not send.

In the Job Log for iatsrecurringcontributions:
The job last night started at 2016-08-24 00:00:04 and then finished at 2016-08-24 00:01:07 with these details:
Parameters parsed (and passed to API method): a:1:{s:7:"version";i:3;}
Full message: Finished execution of iATS Payments Recurring Contributions with result: Success (1 contribution record(s) were processed.
Failed to process recurring contribution id 2: Unexpected Server Error, please see your logs Created activity record for contact id 203)
In looking at the Drupal logs, I have two relevant records for last night's Pending (Incomplete Transaction), an error and a notice, both from hostname 127.0.0.1.
The error:
SoapFault: SoapFault Object (
[message:protected] => Error Fetching http headers
[...a long list of arrays detailing the transaction, our iATS information, API calls and drush commands]
[previous:Exception:private] =>
[faultstring] => Error Fetching http headers
[faultcode] => HTTP
)
The notice:

Attempted Resolution: From initial searches in Stackexchange and Google at large, it might be a server setting, perhaps? After a couple days of trouble initially, I increased two settings in my /etc/my.cnf file just to test and then restarted httpd and nginx:
max_allowed_packet = 128M (was 16M)
wait_timeout = 300 (was 60)
Since I still had the issue last night, it must be something else. Any ideas on how to resolve the "Error Fetching http headers"?
