Sometimes ECONNRESET Error is thrown

[mhhf]

Only sometimes I get this error on ipfs.ls(<hash>, cb ) and sometimes on ipfs.pin. In special when a set of executions is run.

I20151004-17:56:25.538(2)? catched error on ipfs ls { [Error: read ECONNRESET] code: 'ECONNRESET', errno: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' }
W20151004-17:56:25.539(2)? (STDERR) Possibly unhandled Error: read ECONNRESET
W20151004-17:56:25.539(2)? (STDERR)     at errnoException (net.js:905:11)
W20151004-17:56:25.539(2)? (STDERR)     at TCP.onread (net.js:559:19)

Any Idea what this could be?

Apparently it is a nodejs problem. I'm using meteor which in it's lates version uses node 0.10.40 causing this error. With node 4.0.0+ everything seems fine.

The code I'm testing with:

var ipfsApi = require('ipfs-api');
var ipfs = ipfsApi('localhost','5001');

for(var i=0; i<30; i++){
  ipfs.ls("QmPZWqn4ZRhGFJCTnNvaz3Wwe6inKQ4n6nJic4bAw3maz3", function(err,res) {
    if( err ) throw err;
  });
}

@mhhf I believe that is really a specific problem to Node.js 0.10 and 0.8, I've encountered, but it got fixed with 0.12 and onwards - http://blog.gluwer.com/blog.gluwer.com/2014/03/story-of-eaddrinuse-and-econnreset-errors/

No it's not :( seeing the issue in electron, ref ipfs/ipfs-desktop#57 there the error is actually coming from http.request, so it might make sense to use a moduel with some better error handling like superagent instead of the raw http.request, but that's just a guess right now.

[daviddias]

Interesting, so what does superagent do exaclty to fix the problem?

[dignifiedquire]

@diasdavid I'm not a 100% sure, I think it has something to do with making sure that the correct headers are always like suggested in this stackoverflow post. But in general it felt much more stable and reliable when I was using it from station.

@dignifiedquire fixed this on #92

@mhhf let me know if you still find this bug. Closing for now.
