Hi,

I’m having a loop fetching about 200 URL’s.  
But after 170 gets, I get a SystemExit error.

The error is reproducible on Apache, but not on WEBrick in my  
development environment. (OS X 🙂

This is the part that gets the page:

```
 retrycount = 0
  resp = nil
  begin
    timeout(10) do
      resp = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse(url))
      resp.to_s
      logger.debug("Sending to #{recipient}: #{resp}\n")
    end
  rescue TimeoutError
    if(retrycount < 2)
      retrycount+=1
      retry
    else
      logger.info("ERROR url: " + url)
      logger.info("ERROR Timeout error in get_page, attempt #" +

```

retrycount.to\_s)  
nil  
end  
end  
resp.to\_s  
rescue Exception =\> exception  
logger.info(“ERROR Unknown error in get\_page”)  
logger.info(exception.class.to\_s + " " + exception.message.to\_s

- " " + exception.backtrace.to\_s)  
nil  
end

ERROR Unknown error in get\_page  
SystemExit exit

Dont know it it matters, but line 28 in dispatch.fcgi looks like this:  
RailsFCGIHandler.process!

Any suggestions on how to avoid this problem?

Best regards,
