http socket might get reset instead of normal close while handling timeout #26166

We were experiencing unexpected dropped connections between AWS ALB and nodejs application resulting in 502 errors from load balancer.
Managed to replicate a condition when nodejs abnormally closes socket with RST packet instead of normal FIN packets.
Here's exact conditions:
server.timeout = 10 * 1000;
server.keepAliveTimeout = 0;
We kept doing requests to the same connection every 10 seconds to trigger the condition.
Note that data was received and acknowledged, but instead of handling data or closing socket in a normal way nodejs reset the tcp connection.
