The deployed app occasionally displays an error page related to frozen strings:

These appear to be related to
force_encodingcoming from a rather old version (2.2) of the http gem. Other apps that have the http gem have a much higher version (~5), and in fact in the changelog for version 5 we see a merged PR: Avoid force encoding on frozen strings .Lets try upgrading the gem to see if it resolves the issue.
