issue is in: lib/_http_agent.js
The issue is reproducible whenever the ca property is set globally in the agent and an https request is made with https.request(ops) where ops does not have the property ca

_http_agent.js @ Agent.prototype.createSocket
the options are extended with the global options object which contains ca. In getName ca is used in the name generation of the hash.

however _http_agent.js @ Agent.prototype.addRequest
The 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.

It's worth mentioning that this happens because getName is overridden in prototypical inheritance in `https:/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/https.js#L114 - _http_agent is not aware of the ca property.

Nice spotting and nice fix. Worth mentioning that the only place that addRequest uses options except in getName is when it calls createSocket itself - so this is a backwards compatibly.

Would you be willing to make a pull request of your branch against node @saperal ?

SSL sockets leak whenever keep alive is enabled, ca option is set in
the global agent, and requests are sent without the ca property.
In the following case at Agent.prototype.createSocket a socket will
be created with a hashtag name that includes data from the global
agents’ ca property.

On subsequent requests at Agent.prototype.addRequest we do not find
the free socket, because the hashtag name generated there does not
take into account the global agents’ ca property, thus creating a new
socket and leaving the first socket to timeout. closes: #5699
