# add any where to your code before using the Twitter gem
module Twitter
  class Client
    def connection
      @connection ||= Faraday.new(@endpoint, @connection_options.merge(:builder => @middleware)) do |f|
        f.headers = { "Connection" => "" }
      end
    end 
  end
end

Thanks for the workaround! I would modify to keep the method private, and only change the key in the headers that is relevant:

module Twitter
  class Client
    private
    def connection
      @connection ||= Faraday.new(@endpoint, @connection_options.merge(:builder => @middleware)) do |f|
        f.headers["Connection"] = ""
      end
    end
  end
end
