infinity-agent

infinity-agent

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.

Usage

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') });

API

agent(options)

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).

options

Type: String or Object from url.parse
