I am testing eventlet out, and I am getting this error:

~>ab -n 10 -c 1 http://localhost:8090/

Benchmarking localhost (be patient)...apr_socket_recv: Connection reset by peer (54)
Total of 2 requests completed

The website works at localhost:8090/ and returns 200 OK.

I had the same issue with tomcat, again the website worked fine.

What could the issue be?

Answer

I found using 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost worked:

ab -n 10 -c 1 http://127.0.0.1:8090/

Update: May have been a bug in ab: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/nodejs/TZU5H7MdoII/yivu0d4LMaAJ
