This commit addresses critical issues where unhandled socket connection errors (ECONNREFUSED) would crash the server and cause memory leaks with rising connection counts.
Changes:
- Add createSocketWithErrorHandler() utility that attaches error handlers immediately upon socket creation
- Update https-passthrough-handler to use safe socket creation and clean up client sockets on server connection failure
- Update https-terminate-to-http-handler to use safe socket creation
- Ensure proper connection cleanup when server connections fail
- Document the fix in readme.hints.md and create implementation plan in readme.plan.md
The fix prevents race conditions where sockets could emit errors before handlers were attached, and ensures failed connections are properly cleaned up to prevent memory leaks.
- Refactor cleanupSocket function to support options for immediate destruction, allowing drain, and grace periods.
- Introduce createIndependentSocketHandlers for better management of half-open connections between client and server sockets.
- Update various handlers (HTTP, HTTPS passthrough, HTTPS terminate) to utilize new cleanup and socket management functions.
- Implement custom timeout handling in socket setup to prevent immediate closure during keep-alive connections.
- Add tests for long-lived connections and half-open connection scenarios to ensure stability and reliability.
- Adjust connection manager to handle socket cleanup based on activity status, improving resource management.
