Hi,
In production we have a serious memory leak. I tried to figure it out using the module
weak
.When I remove HTTP clients in my code, I don't have mem leaks. So I thought there was something strange in the HTTP client.
I started with #3179, and found something else when the socket hang up (socket hang up happens in our production code).
When executing this gist, weak tell us that some of our objects are not GC.
Using webkit-devtools-agent, I found that the leak is retained by an HTTPParser. So i tried this :
And the leak in the gist disappear.
I tried to do something smarter in this pull request. The http tests still works. I hope this pull-request will help.
Thanks for node. It rocks !
