Advanced tools
Returns HTTP/HTTPS agent with maxSockets set to Infinity (based on URL or options).
Motivation: Node 0.10.x is using 5 sockets limit on one host:port pair, but in 0.11.x this is fixed with defaultMaxSockets set to Infinity. To backport this behaviour you can use this module.
var agent = require('infinity-agent');
var http = require('http');
var https = require('https');
http.get('http://google.com', { agent: agent('http://google.com') });
https.get('http://google.com', { agent: agent('https://google.com') });
Returns instance of HTTP/HTTPS agent, based on options
.
If http.Agent.defaultMaxSockets
is set by user (not equals default 5
), then undefined
will be returned.
Otherwise agent.httpAgent
/ agent.httpsAgent
will be returned (based on options.protocol
).
If options
contains any of tls options, then new instance of https.Agent
will be returned (with maxSockets
set to Infinity
, if not present in options
).
Required
Type: String
or Object
from url.parse
