Sysread error in "net" library?

Rails
1

Hi,

I am reading RSS feeds and quite often I get the following error in the
“net” library. Anybody had such error before?

Any info would be very useful?

Thanks, Hari

Errno::EOFError usually means the other side closed the connection. This
is a standard error with syswrite, and unless I’m missing something
about your case, you should be trapping it. (I assume you’re using
blocking i/o, otherwise there would be a few other things you have catch
as well.)
