I have a server that disconnects frequently

$echo "GET hosts" | nc localhost 323
a.host.com
b.host.com
c.host.com

While reading the same thing from ruby with following code 

s = TCPSocket.new(host,port)
s.puts "GET hosts\n\n\r\r"
data = ""
begin
  until s.closed?
    l = s.gets
    puts "Host:" + l
    data = data + l
  end
rescue Exception => e
  puts "pp" + e.message
end

prints out

Host:a.host.com
Host:b.host.com
Host:c.host.com
Host:Error reading from 3: Connection reset by peer

And the application hangs, somehow. Any heads up for this?? Weird thing is that it is not entering the exception handler.

You can try rescuing like that rescue Errno::ECONNRESET => e.

Check out How to catch error Connection reset by peer (Errno::ECONNRESET), especially the retry bit.
