Ruby Read Timeout vs Global

client.rb

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'

url = URI.parse 'http://localhost:9292/'
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new url.path

response = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) do |http|
  http.read_timeout = 2
  http.request request
end

puts 'Timeout was not reached!'

server.rb

require 'rack/handler/puma'

class App
  def call(request)
    delay = 1 # second

    body = Enumerator.new do |enum|
      5.times do |i|
        puts "Sleeping #{delay}"
        sleep delay
        enum << "#{i}\n"
      end
    end

   [200, { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json'}, body]
  end
end

Rack::Handler::Puma.run App.new

Read timeouts aren't global timeouts.
