I'm using Django Celery task to connect to Facebook Graph API with requests lib using Gevent. Issue I'm constantly running at is that every now and then I get EOF occurred in violation of protocol exception. I've searched around and various sources offer different fixes but none seems to work.
I've tried monkey patching the ssl module(gevent.monkey.patch_all()) and some others too but no luck.
I'm not even sure if this is openssl issue as some sources might suggest as I haven't encountered it before applying Gevent optimisation
Connection error: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

I'm using latest 1.0rc Gevent version.
Another issue that keeps poping up time to time although URL is correct is: Retrying (5 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'error(2, 'No such file or directory')': /ID/events?limit=5000&fields=description,name,location,start_time,end_time&access_token=TOKEN
Using the forced TLSv1 fix as suggested by J.F Sebastian fixed all the issues I was facing.
Hints for future questions regarding:
DNSError exception - upgrading Gevent from 0.13.X to 1.0rc fixes this issue
SSL issues - look at fix in link provided by J.F Sebastian
