The previous fix only addressed ForwardingHandler classes but missed the critical setupDirectConnection() method in route-connection-handler.ts where SmartProxy actually handles connections. This caused active connections to rise indefinitely on ECONNREFUSED errors.
Changes:
- Import createSocketWithErrorHandler in route-connection-handler.ts
- Replace net.connect() with createSocketWithErrorHandler() in setupDirectConnection()
- Properly clean up connection records when server connection fails
- Add connectionFailed flag to prevent setup of failed connections
This ensures connection records are cleaned up immediately when backend connections fail, preventing 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.
