Question

I have the following:

 var tempServer=require("./myHttp");

 tempServer.startServer(8008,{'/fun1':fun1 , '/fun2': fun2 , '/fun3':fun3 , '/fun4':fun4},"www");

which creates a server on localhost:8008.

and if i type in the url line in my browser the following:

 localhost:http://localhost:8008/fun2

it will call fun2 function and will perform what is needed.

having said that,

how can i write a script function (fun2) which simulates a call for a large number

of requests (say 10000) to tempServer?

any help will be much appreciated!

Answer 1

Are you interested in scripting 10,000 calls to fun2 via http2 or
issuing 10,000 requests from fun2 within node?

If it is within Node and as you probably know all the code is written as sequential but
the events are executed asynchronously.

Check the EventEmitter for dispatching function calls on evens:

http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.7/api/all.html#events.EventEmitter

and see this example as an inspiration for issuing calls in parallel:

Hope this helps.
