Hey, I'm coding a proxy server checker.
In order to check a proxy, I need to connect to it using "request" module, and perform several requests. The goal is to be able to check thousands of proxies in short amount of time. I was hoping to test 1,000 proxies concurrently. I did the following configs: http.globalAgent.maxSockets = 100000; events.EventEmitter.prototype._maxListeners = 100000; and I execute 1,000 requests using async.queue. I also set the open file descriptors to a really high limit... Another thing I do is I set a timeout for each proxy for 30 secs... Anyway, what happens is that the first requests are performed well and then I start getting a lot of ETIMEDOUT & ESOCKETTIMEDOUT. I checked the amout of open files for my node process: pidof node lsof -p 3730 | grep TCP | wc -l And I check it periodically during the execution. It looks like I always get stuck on average of 30 sockets. It seems like something is limiting my requests to work. And then, when a turn of a request comes, it simply refuses to work because it's already timedout. Any suggestions?
