Hoxy is preventing Node from exiting about hoxy HOT 2 OPEN

I used the why-is-node-running module to debug this and it pointed a finger at the server.listen() in cycle.js.

I'm not very familiar with this portion of the codebase, but the solutions that seem obvious to me are:

• Only start listening when the user calls listen() on a Hoxy instance. Otherwise, it is surprising that the program remains open forever.
• Stop listening / close() at a reasonable time so that graceful shutdown works as expected. Options might be:
  • Handle SIGINT and close.
  • Keep track of whether there are listening hoxy instances. Close when there are no more.
  • Use a class instead of a singleton. Listen / close in tandem with each hoxy instance.

+1 having this problem. Simple example:

const hoxy = require('hoxy')

const proxy = hoxy.createServer().listen('1234')

proxy.close(function(err) {
  if (err) throw err

  console.log('The proxy is no longer accepting new connections.')
})

The output is The proxy is no longer accepting new connections., but my process is still up.
