Bug: Getting ECONNRESET error when running simple test with http loop

See original GitHub issue

Ever since the pull request https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/pull/557 merged into master, simple tests with configs that have http.pool configured are failing with error: Error: socket hang up: ECONNRESET

Test file:

{
	"config": {
		"target": "https://httpstat.us",
		"http": {
			"pool": 3
		},
		"phases": [{
			"duration": 1,
			"arrivalRate": 3
		}]
	},
	"scenarios": [{
		"name": "Get response code 200",
		"flow": [{
			"get": {
				"url": "/200",
				"forever": true
			}
		}]
	}]
}

My pleasure. Something to consider when you are looking at a fix for this bug is the version of request.js npm package. When running artillery tests using request.js version 2.87, I could reach 1500 RPS testing a simple server that returned only 200 locally on my machine. However, when I used the most up to date version of request.js, 2.88, I could reach only ~750 RPS. I ran these tests with a pool of 100 sockets where I let request.js handle the logic of the sockets (basically by reverting the commit that introduced this bug https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/issues/621)

It’s important to take into account this significant difference in performance between the two request.js versions

thanks for the bug report @NivLipetz; re performance differences between request.js versions – that’s very interesting and something to look into, I’ll create a separate ticket for it
