Too many connections error

[abuisman]

Hi,

In a project where we use fakeweb I ran into an issue when I tried to connect to Neo4j (a graph database). The gem I used to connect to it (neo4jrb) uses net-http to connect to the database and it turns out that fakeweb interfered with this in development.

I described my issues in detail here:
neo4jrb/activegraph#555 (comment)

After some back and forth between ruby versions and disabling various gems I found out that fakeweb was, in the end, the culprit in my spotty connection with the database. Since removing fakeweb from my Gemfile I haven't had any issues.

The error I received was:

Net::HTTP::Persistent::Error: too many connection resets (due to closed stream - IOError) after 0 requests on 2237191000, last used 4.27705 seconds ago
from /Users/achilleas/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/protocol.rb:211:in `write'

Please let me know if you need any more information.
