ssl test

broken.js

var http = require('http'), // intentionally using http to connect to https
    options = {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 4443,
        path: '/ping',
    };

function pingLoop() {
    http.get(options, function (res) {
        console.assert(false, "server should never accept http over https");
    }).on('error', function (e) {
        process.nextTick(pingLoop); // blast it
    });
}

pingLoop();
    

correct.js

var http = require('https'),
    options = {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 4443,
        path: '/ping',
    };

function pingLoop() {
    http.get(options, function (res) {
        console.log('got statusCode: ' + res.statusCode);
        setTimeout(pingLoop, 10);
    }).on('error', function (e) {
        console.log('got error: ' + e.message);
        setTimeout(pingLoop, 10);
    });
}

pingLoop();
    

pong.js

var https = require('https'),
    fs = require('fs');

https.createServer({
        key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),  // use real key here
        cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem') // use real cert here
    },
    function (req, res) {
        res.end('pong\n');
    }
).listen(4443);

In node versions under 0.4.12 an ssl error from one connection can spill over into another when the ssl error list contains more than one entry.

To reproduce, run these scripts concurrently. You will notice that correct.js will hang at some point and stop printing output.
