Net:HTTP with timeout (Net::OpenTimeout) after after 60 seconds

I meant "Net:HTTP will timeout (Net::OpenTimeout) after 60 seconds".

Any suggestion on fixing this would very helpful . So far I have tried using Socket.tcp(addr.ip_address, serv).close to preemptively check if resolved addresses are reachable. It works but it is very inefficient.
Besides the brute steps explained above, in the wild, this only affects host which have an IPv6 address but their IPv6 route to our CDN is broken. Personal home networks which generally have only IPv4 connectivity seamlessly use the IPv4 address to start the connection (without the need for a fallback).

Hi!

Any feedback about this? We're considering implementing "Happy Eyeballs" in rubygems by monkeying TCPSocket.new, in order to fix longstanding issues with gem install timing out on ipv6-capable clients. But it would feel much better if this was built in.
