Connection pools are really effective. This PR makes them work through a proxy as well.
When establishing an HTTPS connection through a proxy a connection is first made with the proxy and then a second connection, a tunnel, is established with the target host. This second connection is kept in a pool whereas the connection with the proxy is not kept in the pool.
Later, when a subsequent connection is made with the same target host it could reuse the tunnel. Unfortunately the tunnel isn't found when looking in the pool for available connections. The reason is that the
sslupgrade
function creates a newConnection
with a differentconnectionkey
. This mismatch between keys causesnewconnection
to not find the reusable tunnel connection, even though we readily keep the tunnel alive sitting there just waiting to be reused.In this PR,
newtunnelconnection
uses aconnectionkey
that can be reused as expected.Does this look like the right approach for this kind of functionality?
