Broken Pipe exceptions raised after idle periods #218
Description
I'm using long-lived client objects like so:
client = discovery.build(....) task = client.get_something(....).execute(num_retries=5) some_long_running_process(task) client.do_another_thing().execute(num_retries=5)And running into exceptions on the calls to do_another_thing():
