Using Rails 4.2.7 caused my connection to mashape that I use in my seed file to fail and generates the warning:
[warning] The response contained in an RestClient::Exception is now a RestClient::Response instead of a Net::HTTPResponse, please update your code
Downgrading to 4.2.6 fixes issue. Not sure it's an actual Unirest issue or a Rails issue, so posting just FYI.
