I have a simple test client that performs load tests against a REST service
with http.request, essentially executing the following inside of a big loop
var body = 'whatever=something';
var options = {
hostname: 'my.api.server',
port: 1234,
path: '/api/that/i/want/to/test',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length': body.length
}
};
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
console.log(res.statusCode);
res.emit('end'); // force the connection to close (IS THIS REALLY
CORRECT?)
});
req.end(body);
If the server is configured to send the Connection: close header (or if I
include the res.emit('end')line) this works fine. However if the server
doesn't send that header (and e.g. restify doesn't by default) my client
stops getting responses after about 5 requests have been sent. The emit
trick was gleaned from here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14459644/node-js-howto-close-response-request-while-retrieving-data-chuncks
But is this really the "node correct" way to do this?
