Monkey-hack to retry SSL "Connection reset by peer" failures to Rackspace Cloud Files with CarrierWave

carrierwave_fog_hack.rb

module CarrierWave
  module Storage
    class Fog
      class File
        alias :store_without_safety_net :store
        def store(new_file)
          retries_remaining = 3
          begin
            store_without_safety_net(new_file)
          rescue Excon::Errors::SocketError => e
            if e.inspect =~ /Connection reset by peer/
              retries_remaining -= 1
              if retries_remaining <= 0
                raise
              else
                retry
              end
            else
              raise
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

thanks so much for this, saved me at crunch time as well! ever discover more about this issue?

You know, I never really dug into it. I've been running in production with this hack for a few months and it's totally out-of-sight-out-of-mind now. As far as I know, the problem still exists and the hack above is happily taking care of it for me.

Glad it's not just me seeing this. I thought maybe I was going crazy.

@charlietran I just added a new gist that contains the full version of this patch that I am now using in production. The only real difference since the original is that I added this protection to a couple additional methods. You can see the new gist here: https://gist.github.com/1822442

Hey guys, sorry about the trouble you were having there. I just patched fog to do retries itself on put_object by adding :idempotent => true to the request for put_object, see:
fog/fog@a1fe973
After the next release (hopefully this week), your issue should hopefully be resolved and no longer require this monkey patch. There may be other things that should be marked as retry-able as well, so let me know (or send me a patch) if you run into any other ones. Thanks!
