[3rd-Eden]

Garbage collection function to kill unused handshakes.

Benchmark test, I didn't think something like would be suitable for our unit tests, so we might needs need have some sort of performance benchmark suite where these kind of tests can run.

Not merging this one as I still want to make some changes to the handshake store logic to make garbage collection more flexible.

Sure, but this is a major memory leak and can leak hunderds om kb in a production env.

So i suggesting fixen it now instead of after another release as ALLOT of users are suffering from this bug.

Hi, I'm getting this error

TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'issued' in null
at String.IN (native)
at Manager.garbageCollection (/node_modules/socket.io/lib/manager.js:1021:21)
at Timer. (native)
at Timer.ontimeout (timers.js:223:14)

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

I am also getting this error. I temporarily put a fix by forking and checking for null value of handshake. Any ideas on what would have caused this error?

Thanks,
Vikram

In my system i have about 6 different system that have connected the same Redis Store for Socket.io.
This error happens only when we restart one of the systems that have connected clients.
