RPC - Massive amount of TIME_WAIT connections (Pool) #344

   HI!

   I’m one of the founders of Bitcoins.lc - we’re experiencing some problems with bitcoind as a backend. The error consists of mainly that the amount of connections between bitcoind and pushpoold is insane.

   This is due to the fact the bitcoind does not support keep-alive for RPC-connections. pushpoold is based upon libcurl and should be able to do so out of the box. Each new getwork request from clients opens up a new connection between bitcoind and pushpoold to transfeer data.

   Could anyone please take a look at this problem? I’d gladly pay 10 BTC for implementing a keep-alive patch for bitcoin.

   / jim

   23:13:51 @jine This is a patch for bitcoind from hevosenliha in #bitcoins.lc. To try to add support for keep-alive 23:13:55 @jine http://jine.be/46 23:14:18 @jine The issue with that seems to be (according to ius in #bitcoins.lc) that the connection only allows one user to connect. 23:14:31 @jine (And also, i’m having troubles with that code)

   One thing tho, the keep-alive solution should be based upon multi-threading (as implemented before in #214

   Someone at a Swedish forum found this link, should be something worth taking a look on: http://codingplayground.blogspot.com/2008/07/boostasio-and-keep-alive.html

   Should be fixed thanks to HTTP/1.1 support
