Hello! I need some help resolving an issue with running several connections simultaneously through a single tunnel connection. From the bug report: Where I noticed an issue is when utilized a forwarded port created with Net::SSH to connect a local port to a remote host http proxy server. A browser, then configured locally to use said local port will obviously utilize alot of simultaneous connections as it makes requests through the connection. We’re noticing that if you’re “nice” and allow pages to load (connections to be created, used, then shutdown gracefully) you’re fine - but if you interrupt the connection by browsing to other links in mid-download, or hit your stop button, we see “connection forcibly reset” exceptions from buffered\_io.rb’s fill method, and then the forwarded connection is basically locked up until you re-establish. And there’s a script to help reproduce it. > The bug report is here: [http://net-ssh.lighthouseapp.com/projects/36253/tickets/7-an-existing-connection-was-forcibly-closed-by-the-remote-host#ticket-7-3](http://net-ssh.lighthouseapp.com/projects/36253/tickets/7-an-existing-connection-was-forcibly-closed-by-the-remote-host#ticket-7-3) If someone can help resolve it I’ll incorporate the fix into the next release (with kudos, of course!).
