This is a common problem porting blocking code to node. If you block on
network sockets in node, it will destroy the performance of your server.
There is only one thread. The server will be unable to serve multiple
connections at once if one is blocking.
Why are you porting this to node? This requirement is
fundamentally incompatible with the design of node. If you want the
awesome concurrent socket performance capabilities of node, this is only
done by never using blocking I/O.
So assuming you want to port to node anyway, the code's structure will have
to be modified to accommodate for the async requirements of node.
(Technically you could modify node through a C addon to have multiple
threads and block the thread, but that's not going to scale near as well as
a single thread using non-blocking code due to the high cost of thread
context switching and thread syncing)
