Force close all connections in a node.js http server

Question

I have an http server created using:

var server = http.createServer()

I want to shut down the server. Presumably I\'d do this by calling:

I usually use something similar to this:

var express = require('express');
var server = express();

/* a dummy route */
server.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('Hello World!');
});

/* handle SIGTERM and SIGINT (ctrl-c) nicely */
process.once('SIGTERM', end);
process.once('SIGINT', end);


var listener = server.listen(8000, function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

    var host = listener.address().address;
    var port = listener.address().port;

    console.log('Server listening at http://%s:%s', host, port);
});


var lastSocketKey = 0;
var socketMap = {};
listener.on('connection', function(socket) {
    /* generate a new, unique socket-key */
    var socketKey = ++lastSocketKey;
    /* add socket when it is connected */
    socketMap[socketKey] = socket;
    socket.on('close', function() {
        /* remove socket when it is closed */
        delete socketMap[socketKey];
    });
});

function end() {
    /* loop through all sockets and destroy them */
    Object.keys(socketMap).forEach(function(socketKey){
        socketMap[socketKey].destroy();
    });

    /* after all the sockets are destroyed, we may close the server! */
    listener.close(function(err){
        if(err) throw err();

        console.log('Server stopped');
        /* exit gracefully */
        process.exit(0);
    });
}

it's like Ege Özcan says, simply collect the sockets on the connection event, and when closing the server, destroy them.
