In `getName` `ca` is used in the name generation of the hash.\n\nhowever _http_agent.js @ `Agent.prototype.addRequest`\nThe `options` (passed from the call `https.request(ops)` which don't have the property `ca`) are used to get a hashtag which is now different. The socket leaks and is closed when the timeout hits. Meanwhile a new socket is created for the request.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/alexpenev-s","@type":"Person","name":"alexpenev-s"},"datePublished":"2016-03-14T15:40:06.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/5699/node/issues/5699"}
