That's not the exception you're getting (read the error message 
carefully). It's:

rescue Errno::ETIMEDOUT

Or better,

rescue SystemCallError

which is the superclass of all the Errno::* errors. These are errors 
generated by the operating system itself, and this one is occuring 
before your 40 second timeout has expired.
