http2: implement ref() and unref() on client sessions #16617
Description
Activity
cc @nodejs/http2
So … a question; right now, this effectively is about the ref’edness of the
uv_prepare_tthat is used to send data at the beginning of an event loop iteration, and for the ref’edness of the underlying socket. Is that correct?For the former, I think the solution we should be aiming for is to only have the handle be active if there actually is data to send, and I’d be glad to look into that.
This has been done
Currently the client sessions cannot be
unref(), which means they will keep the process alive if they are not destroyed. Adding support forref()andunref()(https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#net_socket_ref) would add the possibility to create some long-running clients for the life of the process.
