ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', error(54, 'Connection reset by peer'))

[Everett Toews]

If there is a long time (hours) between requests to the API, you can get connection errors.

    requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', error(54, 'Connection reset by peer'))

Here are 2 complete examples:

It's plausible that a connection is hanging around in the connection pool that we're not closing because the server supports Keep-Alive. When we try to use it, it causes a connection error because the socket's closed on the server side. I'm going to show this to Cory to see if he can help us debug it.

I'm intrigued by the lack of debug logs from urllib3: I'd have expected to see some.

Regardless, it is certainly *plausible* that a connection is hanging around. That at least should be an easily tested scenario.
