gracefully close open sockets in a http server
npm install http-closehttp-close keeps track on open sockets and closes them gracefully when the
tcp server is closeing.
When you call server.close() this moudule will:
- Destroy all sockets without a corresponding http response (keep-alive)
- Send Connection: close to http requests where the headers is not sent
- Set the socket timeout to the value you specify. Default 5 seconds.
When a socket timeouts after the server is closed, this module will respond
with a 500 status code and end the connection where the headers is not sent.
All other sockets will be destroyed.
``js
var http = require('http')
, httpClose = require('http-close')
var server = http.createServer()
// Add http-close hook
httpClose({ timeout: 2000 }, server)
// Just call server.close as usual when you want to stop the server
server.close()
``
$ npm install http-close
