When the trail expires on our gateway, and we do a reset, we keep getting these errors  
when we try to to a httpclient call, polled by a gatewayscript.

I cant even reset the service without force ending it with taskmanager

we just use these for local tests, but its kinda annoying if we gotta reset the server every 2h

Any idea how to fix this?

version **8.1.14**

Sounds like the target of your call doesn’t support multiple connections. Since you are using invokeAsynchronous, that suggests that you are also failing to kill off prior long-running scripts when scripting restarts (which happens on trial reset).

yeah i can see that, the asycn function is just looping through some calls to simulate some api calls (at high speed)

but ill have to look into this, that would be a quite a problem

So its nothing the do with the asycn.

The gateway keeps the tcp sockets open at status CLOSE\_WAIT…  
just opening a client causes 100’s of ports to get stuck

im guessing this is the relevant bit… im thinking maybe im not supposed to do `client = system.net.httpClient()` i na loop?

```auto
   for loc in storage_units:
         if loc['row_id'] not in instances:
            lock=0
            try:
            	client = system.net.httpClient()
                response = client.get(url="%s/storage-units/%s/rows/%s" % (base_url,storage_unit,loc['row'] ), headers=headers)				
                if response.good:
                	if "lock_code" in response.json:
                	   lock = response.json["lock_code"]

```

BTW, are you making a new `httpClient` object for every call? If so, don’t. It is designed to be reused.

yup xd  
guess thats it…

kinda weird its designed it like that though no?  
especialy since there is no way to close the client

It is supposed to be thread-safe, too. Consider making one as a top-level object in a project script module, and using that one everywhere in that project.

Not really. Modern web frameworks use a variety of connection reuse strategies that can't be supported if there is no place to hold state.

Think of "httpClient" as the transport part of a browser, and each `.get()` as the network part of opening a tab.

yea i mean,  
i get how it works in java  
but for the system function: system.net.httpClient()  
Wouldnt it be easier to use if it just like grabbed the one httpclient from the gateway system xd  
idk nvm i guess you can now create clients with different settings this way.

I am not sure why there is no way to close off the client tho… no disconnect function for something that hogs sockets?

Try upgrading to at least 8.1.15. See the end of this release note:

> Added a `version` argument to `system.net.httpClient()` system function to allow specifying either `HTTP_2` (for http/2 first with fallback to http/1.1) or `HTTP_1_1` (for explicit use of http/1.1) for the HTTP protocol. When omitted, the previous default of `HTTP_2` is implied. **Also verified during the addition of this `version` argument was the 8.1.15 update to 11.0.14.1 JDK enabling periodic garbage collection to successfully reap closed connections where they may have been left lingering on previous versions (when http/2 was being used).**

alright updated to 8.1.18  
all see if this fixes the sockets^^

so it seems the sockets might still be getting used, but im not running into errors yet for now,  
so i’ll mark it as solved for now for aslong i dont run into trouble again xP
