Description

This seems to be a sparse issue, we've only received 5 events over the last few days. The stack trace looks like this:

OSError: [Errno 107] Transport endpoint is not connected
  File "urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 703, in urlopen
    httplib_response = self._make_request(
  File "urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 386, in _make_request

  File "urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 1042, in _validate_conn

    return self._sock.getpeername()

    return request("get", url, params=params, **kwargs)
  File "requests/api.py", line 59, in request
    return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
  File "requests/sessions.py", line 587, in request
    resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
  File "requests/sessions.py", line 701, in send
    r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
  File "requests/adapters.py", line 547, in send
    raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)

For all I can tell, this is an issue deep in the bowels of the request process. I've looked for "Transport endpoint is not connected" in both urllib3 and gevents and neither gave me any results. All of the StackOverflow results for this seem to point to socket usage, which is not something we're dictating by hand when we issue this request.

Reproduction

The URLs for each event don't reproduce the issue for me.
