hi I am getting the following error when i try to hit a url from my node.js
problem with request: socket hang up
my code is below
var express = require('express')
app = express.createServer();
var options = {
host:'10.230.125.54',
port:8080,
path:'/'
};
var http = require('http');
app.get('/hitmideation', function(req, response) {
var jsonresponse;
response.contentType('application/json');
console.log('listening');
var req =http.request(options, function(res) {
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
jsonresponse = chunk;
response.end('json from url:'+ JSON.stringify(jsonresponse));
});
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
req.end();
});
console.log('I will be listening on: 1340' );
app.listen(1340);
How do i handle this issue ! Any help will be appreciated
Be sure your url in the options work properly by testing it in a browser. If you are sure the url is responding try following code snippet to retrieve the content:
http.get("10.230.125.54:8080", function(res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
var content = '';
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
content += chunk;
});
res.on('end', function () {
var obj = JSON.parse(content);
// do whatever with the obj
});
}).on('error', function(err) {
// Handle the err here
});
