Ruby: Net::HTTP idle timeout?

Question

I am using the Ruby standard library to create persistent connect: ``` Net::HTTP.new(host, port) ``` Does ruby close the connection itself after idle for some times?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The default for MRI Ruby is 60 seconds.

```
http = Net::HTTP.new(host, port)
http.read_timeout # -> 60
```

If you want a connection does not timeout you can set `read_timeout` to `nil`

```
http.read_timeout = nil
```
