Or you could remove the socket from the map while it's in use.

And what about connection limits?  We shouldn't create a thousand connections to the same host =).

Not a bad idea, but that may be creeping outside the scope of the bug as reported.

If you're writing a web-scraper/spider, it is true you might need some sort of higher-level manager to handle concurrent access. I'm not sure what that would look like, though

I think Felipe's point is that using the approach I outlined, we will never spawn more than one connection to a single host. By simply taking the socket out of the map, there's no limit to the number of sockets that will be created. Michael
