How to catch Errno::ECONNRESET class in “case when”?

This is because of how the === operator works on the class Class

The case statement internally calls the === method on the object you are evaluating against. If you want to test for e class, you just test against e, not e.class. That’s because e.class would fall into the when Class case, because, well, e.class is a Class.

rescue Exception => e
    case e
        when Errno::ECONNRESET
            p 1
        when Errno::ECONNRESET,Errno::ECONNABORTED,Errno::ETIMEDOUT
            p 2
        else
            p 3
    end
end

Yeah, Ruby can have weird semantics sometimes
