NetHttpTimeoutErrors

Whether you use Net::HTTP or some higher abstraction like HTTParty, are you tired of having to rescue an ever-growing list of Net::HTTP timeout error types?

Just load this gem and then do:

beginuri=URI.parse("http://google.com/")response=Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)rescue *NetHttpTimeoutErrors.allputs"It timed out some way or other!"rescueAnotherError, *NetHttpTimeoutErrors.allputs"This works too."end

Or if you prefer:

beginNetHttpTimeoutErrors.conflatedouri=URI.parse("http://google.com/")response=Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)endrescueNetHttpTimeoutErrorputs"It timed out some way or other!"end

You can still get at the original error through NetHttpTimeoutError#original_error.

Did we miss an error? Please add it!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'net_http_timeout_errors'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install net_http_timeout_errors

Also see

There is also net_http_exception_fix which cleverly tags these exceptions with a Net::HTTPBroken module that you can rescue.

You may prefer about this library that it very explicitly raises a single exception. The tagged exceptions are less obviously the same.
