HTTPClient::KeepAliveDisconnected: Connection reset by peer

I'm getting this exception from elasticsearch-ruby gem that uses httpclient. I believe this exception should be handled inside httpclient itself. Because you can always reconnect. We switched to typhoeus for now.

@bogdanovich Thanks for filing this issue. HTTPClient has retry and it should reconnect I thought. Could you please show a stacktrace for your problem?

I am getting many of these errors as well with POST. Stacktrace:
