NODE JS http form post failing without fidler proxy

I am making http form post using request node module (https://www.npmjs.org/package/request).

The post request fails with error - {"code":"ECONNRESET","errno":"ECONNRESET","syscall":"read","level":"error","message":"","timestamp":"2014-09-05T17:35:34.616Z"}

If I run fiddler and channel the request via fiddler, it works fine.

Any idea why would that happen and how I can resolve it!

Here is the exact code I am using. It works as long as I use it as stand alone node js. But, if its made a web app, it fails. It seems to work a few times.., but fails continuously after that. At this point, even the stand alone node js fails to run.

However, when I enable the proxy and open fiddler, it works magically!

var request = require('request');

var url = "https://idctestdemo.hostedcc.com/callcenter/mason/agents/pipes/muterecording.pipe"//"https://restmirror.appspot.com/"
   ,form_data = {"pipe-name": "Deepak"};

  var args = { url:  url, form: form_data};
  if(process.argv.length > 2){
    var enable_proxy = process.argv[2];
    if(enable_proxy && enable_proxy[0] == 'p'){
      console.log('enabling proxy')
      args['proxy'] = 'http://127.0.0.1:8888';
      args["rejectUnauthorized"] = false;
    }
  }

  var oclient = request.post(args
    ,function(error, response, body){
        if (error){
          console.log('error in reponse');
          console.error(error);
        } else {
          console.log('success!');
          console.dir(body);
        }
      });

  oclient.on('error',function(err){
      console.log('client error');
      console.error(err);
    });
  oclient.on('end',function(end_data){console.log('end', end_data)});
  oclient.on('data',function(d){console.log('on data', d)});

  console.log('waiting for response...')

If everything goes well, the expected response should be

<script>
parent.xb.pipe.onNotify('Deepak',{desc:'Pipe opened by server',payload:{time:'Mon Sep  8 12:58:18 2014'},type:'MSG_OPENED'});
</script>
<script>
parent.xb.pipe.onNotify('Deepak',{desc:'Not logged in',payload:{hostcode:'ny-1'},type:'ERR_NOLOGIN'});
</script>
<script>
parent.xb.pipe.onNotify('Deepak',{desc:'Pipe closed by server',payload:null,type:'MSG_CLOSED'});
</script>
