node 0.6.17 TypeErrors at http.js:1163

[Subbu Allamaraju]

Hi,

I just upgraded from 0.6.16 to 0.6.17, and I'm noticing some new messages pop up when I'm running some stress tests that introduce some network delays and failures. I don't have an isolated case yet, but it seems to indicate some out of order handling between errorListener and closeListener in http.js. The error does not occur in 0.6.16. Has anyone seen similar behavior?

Oh dear. We fixed a couple of memory leaks / object leaks in 0.6.17
but it looks like we introduced some regressions. Can you open an
issue? Thanks.

Here is my test client.


var clientReq = http.request(options, function (clientRes) {
...
});
clientReq.setTimeout(1000, function () {
clientReq.connection.destroy();
...
});

Destroying the socket during the timeout causes this error. I will open an issue.

Fixed on v0.6 branch. It'll be updated in the next release.
