Jonathon - are you saying that you're seeing behaviour where you're trying
to make > 10 requests simultaneously, and Request #11 is only started after
Request #1-10 have completed?
I don't see this behaviour. For example:
var http = require('http')
function httpCall(i) {
http.get('http://www.apple.com', function(res) {
if (res.statusCode === 200)
console.log("Completed " + i + " at " + Date.now())
})
}
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
httpCall(i)
}
