rightscale/right_aws — Issue #122: Server queue.amazonaws.com closed connection

State: open

Creating an ```Sqs``` object with the ```:connection_mode => :single``` is supposed to open a persistent connection to queue.amazonaws.com.

However, after a period of inactivity ( ~2 minutes) when a new message is pushed onto the queue the following message is seen:

```
Rightscale::HttpConnection : server queue.amazonaws.com closed connection
Opening new HTTPS connection to queue.amazonaws.com:443
```

This slows down pushing that message by ~500ms. Is there any way to fix this?

thanks!
