@biancazzurri Hi Roman, this looks really promising- thank you!

Could you give me some idea how extensively this has been tested/used in production, etc.? What's your level of confidence re: readiness to merge?

(Asking since it's not a trivial change, and want to have some idea how extensively you think this should be reviewed before merging).

Cheers :-)

Hey, Peter

This was not tested in production since we found another solution :)
I think what should be done is a stress testing, sending requests for a couple of hours to several http and https sites via proxy and directly, and use a profiler to see if some leaks are present. I am ready to do that, but before that I wanted someone else to look at the code.
Before another solution for our problem was found I checked this with my use case - AWS ELB which redirects request to a swarm of proxies, and it was cool.
