nodejs httprequest with data - getting error getaddrinfo ENOENT

Question

Update - Answered by self

I see one has to make sure that the DNS is resolved properly from the machine, check out the node documentation to make sure that domain

Answer 1

I was getting [Error: Getaddrinfo ENOENT], but it was right after getting [Error: connect EMFILE]; since I am doing load tests with thousands of clients the EMFILE error (the root cause) was being opaqued. The solution was the same as for EMFILE: increase the number of file descriptors. Just adding it here for completeness in case anyone else has the same problem.
