A developer encountered an intermittent connection error with a free LLM endpoint, where requests would hang for exactly thirty seconds before failing. Through detailed logging, they discovered that the issue stemmed from their HTTP client reusing a keep-alive connection that the gateway had already closed due to inactivity. The problem was reproducible by sleeping longer than the gateway's idle timeout before making a subsequent request on the same client. The solution involved configuring the HTTP client to proactively recycle connections before the gateway does, preventing the use of stale connections. AI
