promised version of request adding ability to set TCP_KEEPINTVL and TCP_KEEPCNT so that request properly timeouts on invalid connections
npm install request-timeout-keepalivedrop in promise based replacement for 'request' module that makes it possible to specify underlying socket timeout (TCP_KEEPINTVL and TCP_KEEPCNT)
``
const request = require('request-timeout-keepalive')
let result = yield request({
url : "http://url",
qs : {
movie_uid: movieUid,
trailer: true,
user_uid: userUid,
user_ip: userIP,
expires_at: moment(movieData[0].expires).format('X'),
max_stream_count: 3
},
timeout: 1500, // request timeout (in cases where connection is established but invalid)
json : true
}, {
keepAliveInitialDelay: 1000, // initial delay (msecs) when to start sending keepalive packets
keepAliveInterval: 1000, // delay between packates (msecs)
keepAliveProbes: 1 // how many failed packets are needed before timeout is fired
})
// result.response contains underlying response from 'request' module
// result.body contains underlying body from 'request' module
