Prior to v0.10, Node ignored ECONNRESET errors in many situations.
There *are* valid cases in which ECONNRESET should be ignored as a
normal part of the TCP dance, but in many others, it's a very relevant
signal that must be heeded with care.
Exacerbating this problem, if the OutgoingMessage does not have a
req.connection._handle, it assumes that it is in the process of
connecting, and thus buffers writes up in an array.
The problem happens when you reuse a socket between two requests, and it
is destroyed abruptly in between them. The writes will be buffered,
because the socket has no handle, but it's not ever going to GET a
handle, because it's not connecting, it's destroyed.
The proper fix is to treat ECONNRESET correctly. However, this is a
behavior/semantics change, and cannot land in a stable branch.
Fix#4775
Fix the following exception:
http.js:974
this._httpMessage.emit('close');
^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'emit' of null
at Socket.onServerResponseClose (http.js:974:21)
at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:124:20)
at net.js:421:10
at process._tickCallback (node.js:386:13)

Fixes#4586.
Apply the same optimization to res.end(buf) that is applied to res.end(str).
Speeds up `node benchmark/http_simple_auto -k -c 1 -n 25000 buffer/1`
(non-chunked response body) by about 750x. That's not a typo.
Chunked responses:
$ cat tmp/http-chunked-client.js
// Run `node benchmark/http_simple` in another terminal.
var http = require('http'), url = require('url');
var options = url.parse('http://127.0.0.1:8000/buffer/1/1');
options.agent = new http.Agent({ maxSockets: 1 });
for (var i = 0; i < 25000; ++i) http.get(options);
Before:
$ time out/Release/node tmp/http-chunked-client.js
real 16m40.411s
user 0m9.184s
sys 0m0.604s
After:
$ time out/Release/node tmp/http-chunked-client.js
real 0m5.386s
user 0m2.768s
sys 0m0.728s
That's still a 185x speed-up.
Fixes#4415.
Make parser errors bubble up to the ClientRequest instead of the underlying
net.Socket object.
This is a back-port of commit c78678b from the master branch.
Fixes#3776.
Just as the 'WWW-Authenticate' HTTP header the 'Proxy-Authenticate' header might
be received several times as well. Currently only one value is preserved. This
change allows to receive multiple values concatenated by space and comma.
A HTTP/1.0 client does not support 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' unless it
explicitly requests it by sending a 'TE: chunked' header.
Before this commit, node.js always disabled chunked encoding for HTTP/1.0
clients. Now it will scan for the TE header and turn on chunked encoding if
requested and applicable.
Fixes#940.
request.end() would sometimes try to write a zero-length buffer to the socket.
Don't do that, it triggers an unnecessary EPIPE when the other end has closed
the connection.
Fixes#3257.
Move parsers.free(parser) to a single function, which also
nulls all of the various references we hang on them.
Also, move the parser.on* methods out of the closure, so that
there's one shared definition of each, instead of re-defining
for each parser in a spot where they can close over references
to other request-specific objects.
