HTTP server tutorial failed due to HTTP reset

Dear Espruino community,

Recently I have started using espruino and wanted to create a simple HTTP server based on the great tutorials provided here https://www.espruino.com/Internet#server .

I am using espruino 1v99 built from source both on Raspberry Pi 3B and x86_64 architecture, but currently I am facing some issues with it.

After creating the WEB server it starts up fine.

var http = require("http");

var i = 0;

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
        i++;
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.write('Testing WEB server - ' + i + '\n')
  res.end()
}).listen(8080);

Initiating a request fails with RESET:

1. Using the Browser, nothing is shown, only a Connection RESET error (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET)
   
2. Using the curl, it returns with "Testing WEB server - 1" and "Testing WEB server - 2", BUT with an error code: curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer. In my understanding code56 means some serious connection issue
   
3. using wget the response is returned, but also with an error: "Read error at byte 23 (Connection reset by peer).Retrying."
   
   

Can someone help me out? I want to build a RESTful interface using HTTP.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks - I'll look into this. It seems to be an issue with the current master branch build.

Can you git checkout RELEASE_1V99, then make clean and make and it should work for you (I just tested).

Ok, I just tracked this down to a PR that was designed to help with testing :/ The latest version should be fixed now.

Works fine, thank you for your quick help!

Now if I quit espruino and restart it, sockets seems to be remained opened in "TIME_WAIT" state, so the new instance is not able to bind to the port.

This happens both in the latest master branch, and in the the RELEASE_1V99. by the time the "RESET" bug was implemented, this does not happened due to the socket reset. Do you have any information, that is this still a linux-related issue (should I set some tcp reuse flag)? (Currently my tcp_tw_reuse flag was set to 1, but it did not solved my problem)

Try a build now - hopefully it'll be a bit better.

Thank you Gordon, it is MUCH better.

To be fair that change wasn't mine but @opichals :) Glad it's working for you now!
