Change to Microsoft.XMLHTTP?

One of my sites uses PayPal IPN for subscriptions, and the response script uses Microsoft.XMLHTTP to post back the validation to PayPal; however IPN seemed to have 'broke' at the weekend, even though it's been working fine for a couple of years.

Picking through the response script, it seems to hang when trying to send the validation back to PayPal using Microsoft.XMLHTTP - if I change the object to Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0 it appears to process ok.

Has there been a change to Microsoft.XMLHTTP on the server? If Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0 is working ok, then I'm not overly concerned, but it would be useful to know as I think I have that object used elsewhere, and I might need to pick through the rest of the site to find it ;-)

There has been no change but there the fact that one of the versions was known to 'quit' until we iisreset sometimes, the versions 4 or 6 are much more stable and best to use anyway
