Unexepected "Conn close because of error end of file reached" in stream

[m-thomson]

Describe the bug The following command works as expected, but always terminates with an error "end of file reached" after precisely 5 minutes:

twurl -j -t -d follow=783214 -H stream.twitter.com /1.1/statuses/filter.json > tweets

The error is:

Conn close because of error end of file reached

Since it's always after 5 minutes (as measured with the linux time command), it leads me to the obvious conclusion that there is a 5 minute time limit for listening to streams. Is that the case? I can't find anything in the API docs mentioning this.

What is the best way to handle this? Should I just keep re-running the command in a loop?

Expected behavior The command should run indefinitely unless terminated.

I just tried using the V2 endpoint instead and got the same result - termination after 5 minutes due to EOF.

There should not be a time limit on the stream connection - it is more likely to be a twurl or Ruby issue. Have you tried accessing the streaming endpoints via any other code? There are v2 Filtered stream samples here.
