[bug] Makes request method respect a hard limit
Altough we specify maxPersistentPerHost, Twisted won't stop opening connections after that. This limit is used just to keep the size of persistent connections pool under control. Additional connections will be made as non persistent. So, if we ask 10000 requests, it will open 10000 connections immediately and leave 10 open after all finished. For checking this behavior, see getConnection from Twisted source: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-15.2.1/twisted/web/client.py#L1203 I tested this by using http_target from soledad without a local database to download all encrypted docs from one account with 1700 of them. The program just hangs and crashes with 1000+ connections and "Too many files open" warnings. With this fix, it was able to download normally, respecting the maxPersistentPerHost as a limiter. :)
