Description
I've noticed errors in Falcon when using recent versions of this gem.
Specifically, SSL_write: bad length is common.
I was checking this issue: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/21002
I found this warning as a result: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/SSL_write/#warnings
I wonder if we are running into this issue?
I'll try to make a small reproduction.
