The enhancement features `keep alive` `http.Agent`. Support `http` and `https`.

## What's different from original `http.Agent`?

- `keepAlive=true` by default
- Disable Nagle's algorithm: `socket.setNoDelay(true)`
- Add free socket timeout: avoid long time inactivity socket leak in the free-sockets queue.
- Add active socket timeout: avoid long time inactivity socket leak in the active-sockets queue.
- TTL for active socket.

## Node.js version required

Support Node.js >= `8.0.0`

## Install

```bash
$ npm install agentkeepalive --save
```

## new Agent([options])

* `options` {Object} Set of configurable options to set on the agent.
Can have the following fields:
* `keepAlive` {Boolean} Keep sockets around in a pool to be used by
other requests in the future. Default = `true`.
* `keepAliveMsecs` {Number} When using the keepAlive option, specifies the initial delay
for TCP Keep-Alive packets. Ignored when the keepAlive option is false or undefined. Defaults to 1000.
Default = `1000`. Only relevant if `keepAlive` is set to `true`.
* `freeSocketTimeout`: {Number} Sets the free socket to timeout
after `freeSocketTimeout` milliseconds of inactivity on the free socket.
The default [server-side timeout](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#serverkeepalivetimeout) is 5000 milliseconds, to [avoid ECONNRESET exceptions](https://medium.com/ssense-tech/reduce-networking-errors-in-nodejs-23b4eb9f2d83), we set the default value to `4000` milliseconds.
Only relevant if `keepAlive` is set to `true`.
* `timeout`: {Number} Sets the working socket to timeout
after `timeout` milliseconds of inactivity on the working socket.
Default is `freeSocketTimeout * 2` so long as that value is greater than or equal to 8 seconds, otherwise the default is 8 seconds.
* `maxSockets` {Number} Maximum number of sockets to allow per
host. Default = `Infinity`.
* `maxFreeSockets` {Number} Maximum number of sockets (per host) to leave open
in a free state. Only relevant if `keepAlive` is set to `true`.
Default = `256`.
* `socketActiveTTL` {Number} Sets the socket active time to live, even if it's in use.
If not set, the behaviour keeps the same (the socket will be released only when free)
Default = `null`.

## Usage

```js
const http = require('http');
const Agent = require('agentkeepalive');

const keepaliveAgent = new Agent({
maxSockets: 100,
maxFreeSockets: 10,
timeout: 60000, // active socket keepalive for 60 seconds
freeSocketTimeout: 30000, // free socket keepalive for 30 seconds
});

const options = {
host: 'cnodejs.org',
port: 80,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
agent: keepaliveAgent,
};

const req = http.request(options, res => {
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});
req.on('error', e => {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
req.end();

setTimeout(() => {
if (keepaliveAgent.statusChanged) {
console.log('[%s] agent status changed: %j', Date(), keepaliveAgent.getCurrentStatus());
}
}, 2000);

```

### `getter agent.statusChanged`

counters have change or not after last checkpoint.

### `agent.getCurrentStatus()`

`agent.getCurrentStatus()` will return a object to show the status of this agent:

```js
{
createSocketCount: 10,
closeSocketCount: 5,
timeoutSocketCount: 0,
requestCount: 5,
freeSockets: { 'localhost:57479:': 3 },
sockets: { 'localhost:57479:': 5 },
requests: {}
}
```

### Support `https`

```js
const https = require('https');
const HttpsAgent = require('agentkeepalive').HttpsAgent;

const keepaliveAgent = new HttpsAgent();
// https://www.google.com/search?q=nodejs&sugexp=chrome,mod=12&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
const options = {
host: 'www.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/search?q=nodejs&sugexp=chrome,mod=12&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8',
method: 'GET',
agent: keepaliveAgent,
};

const req = https.request(options, res => {
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', chunk => {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});

req.on('error', e => {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
req.end();

setTimeout(() => {
console.log('agent status: %j', keepaliveAgent.getCurrentStatus());
}, 2000);
```

### Support `req.reusedSocket`

This agent implements the `req.reusedSocket` to determine whether a request is send through a reused socket.

When server closes connection at unfortunate time ([keep-alive race](https://code-examples.net/en/q/28a8069)), the http client will throw a `ECONNRESET` error. Under this circumstance, `req.reusedSocket` is useful when we want to retry the request automatically.

```js
const http = require('http');
const Agent = require('agentkeepalive');
const agent = new Agent();

const req = http
.get('http://localhost:3000', { agent }, (res) => {
// ...
})
.on('error', (err) => {
if (req.reusedSocket && err.code === 'ECONNRESET') {
// retry the request or anything else...
}
})
```

This behavior is consistent with Node.js core. But through `agentkeepalive`, you can use this feature in older Node.js version.
