When using https.request with node.js v04.7, I get the following error:
Error: socket hang up
at CleartextStream.<anonymous> (http.js:1272:45)
at CleartextStream.emit (events.js:61:17)
at Array.<anonymous> (tls.js:617:22)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26)
Simplified code that will generate the error:
var https = require('https')
, fs = require('fs')
var options = {
host: 'localhost'
, port: 8000
, key: fs.readFileSync('../../test-key.pem')
, cert: fs.readFileSync('../../test-cert.pem')
}
// Set up server and start listening
https.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'})
res.end('success')
}).listen(options.port, options.host)
// Wait a second to let the server start up
setTimeout(function() {
var clientRequest = https.request(options, function(res) {
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('Called')
})
})
clientRequest.write('')
clientRequest.end()
}, 1000)
I get the error even with the server and client running on different node instances and have tested with port 8000, 3000, and 443 and with and without the SSL certificates. I do have libssl and libssl-dev on my Ubuntu machine.
Any ideas on what could be the cause?
In
https.createServer(function (req, res) {
you are missing options when you create the server, should be:
https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
with your key and cert inside
I had a very similar problem where the response's end event never fired.
Adding this line fixed the problem:
// Hack to emit end on close because of a core bug that never fires end
response.on('close', function () {response.emit('end')});
I found an example of this in the request library mentioned in the previous answer.
Short answer: Use the the latest source code instead of the one you have. Store it where you will and then require it, you are good to go.
In the request 1.2.0 source code, main.js line 76, I see
http.createClient(options.uri.port, options.uri.hostname, options.uri.protocol === 'https:');
Looking at the http.js source code, I see
exports.createClient = function(port, host) {
var c = new Client();
c.port = port;
c.host = host;
return c;
};
It is requesting with 3 params but the actual function only has 2. The functionality is replaced with a separate module for https.
Looking at the latest main.js source code, I see dramatic changes. The most important is the addition of require('https').
It appears that request has been fixed but never re-released. Fortunately, the fix seems to work if you just copy manually from the raw view of the latest main.js source code and use it instead.
I had a similar problem and i think i got a fix. but then I have another socket problem.
See my solution here: http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/9189df2597aa199e/b83b16c08a051706?lnk=gst&q=hang+up#b83b16c08a051706
key point: use 0.4.8, http.request instead of http.createClient.
However, the new problem is, if I let the program running for long time, (I actually left the program running but no activity during weekend), then I will get socket hang up error when I send a request to http Server. (not even reach the http.request). I don't know if it is because of my code, or it is different problem with http Server

I am using scp2 to copy a file to targetPath. config contains host, username, privateKey, path and port.
const client = require('scp2');
export function scpAsync(config, targetPath) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
client.scp(config, targetPath, err => {
if (!err){
resolve();
} else {
const errorMessage = err;
reject(errorMessage);
}
});
});
}
When doing so I am getting the error:
Error: Timed out while waiting for handshake
I tried to pass also
promptForPass: false
but it did not change anything. Besides that I used debug mode which told me that I am connected to the server and I put a higher setTimeout but then the error is just coming later. I was checking the documentation of scp2 and their GitHub. I use the function like explained there (https://www.npmjs.com/package/scp2) and regarding the error they could fix it with an higher setTimeout (https://github.com/spmjs/node-scp2/issues/107). I tried with a local ftp server, ngrok and ftp on ec2 instance. All with the same problem.
I would be happy to get help. I asked this question also on superuser but did not get an answer:

I have a little problem with my application.
My architecture:
Angular 6 (front)
NodeJS + Express + MongoDB (back)
There is a part, in my NodeJS application, that communicates with a REST API.
When an user clicks on button on the Angular WebSite, I send a request to Express.
In my Express application, I send another request to the API to retrieve information.
But this process takes a lot of time. My request timeout
What is the best solution to keep my process working after the Express reply has been sent?
Should I do otherwise?
Assuming the problem is with timeout, you can increase the default timeout:
You may set the timeout either globally for entire server. Read more here:
var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
//Server is running
});
server.timeout = 1000; //1000 is one second.
or just for specific route. Read more here:
app.post('/xxx', function (req, res) {
req.setTimeout(500000);
});
You can also change the timeout for the other API request you are making. Read more here
//Assuming you are using request module.
var options = {
url: 'http://url',
timeout: 120000
}
request(options, function(err, resp, body) {});
I am trying to write a simple electron app to interface with a REST server. The server doesn't have the appropriate certificates. When I try to make a 'GET' request (using fetch()), I get the following error message:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BAD_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT
Fixing the certs is not currently an option. I tried to use the 'ignore-certificates-error' flag (see below). It seems like it should allow me to skip over this error, but it doesn't.
var electron = require('electron');
var app = electron.app
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('ignore-certificate-errors');
...
The result is the same error.
Questions:
I am correct in assuming this options is supposed to help here?
If so, any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Electron version: 1.2.8
Thanks!
You can update your version of electron and use this callback:
app.on('certificate-error', (event, webContents, link, error, certificate, callback) => {
if ('yourURL/api/'.indexOf(link) !== -1) {
// Verification logic.
event.preventDefault();
callback(true);
} else {
callback(false);
}
});
That you going do the fetch to your api with https.
I was using this piece of code to send some http requests and get data, and it was working fine. I recently updated apache and php to latest versions, as well as node.
And 'close' event stopped firing. I also tried 'end' and 'finish' none of this seems to be working.
I need to know when response is ended so I can start processing data, usually it comes in several chunks. Can you guys help?
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
if(chunk != null && chunk != "") {
dataString += chunk; c
}
});
});
req.on('close', function () {
//tadaa it is finished, so we can process dataString
});
req.write(post_data);
req.end();
Current versions: Apache 2.4, PHP 5.4 node 0.10.9
Maybe there is some particular config settings of Apache that prevents it from closing connection?
P.S. I do not think it is Apache though.. I tried google.com with same result.. pretty strange... Anyone have a working code example? (load big data, and know when it ended)
You should be waiting for the end event of the response, not the request.
e.g.
res.on('end', function () {
// now I can process the data
});
I'm trying to write a front end to an API service with Node JS.
I'd like to be able to have a user point their browser at my node server and make a request. The node script would modify the input to the request, call the api service, then modify the output and pass back to the user.
I like the solution here (with Express JS and node-http-proxy) as it passes the cookies and headers directly from the user through my site to the api server.
proxy request in node.js / express
I see how to modify the input to the request, but i can't figure out how to modify the response. Any suggestions?
transformer-proxy could be useful here. I'm the author of this plugin and I'm answering here because I found this page when looking for the same question and wasn't satisfied with harmon as I don't want to manipulate HTML.
Maybe someone else is looking for this and finds it useful.
Harmon is designed to plug into node-http-proxy https://github.com/No9/harmon
It uses trumpet and so is stream based to work around any buffering problems.
It uses an element and attribute selector to enable manipulation of a response.
This can be used to modify output response.
See here: https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/issues/382#issuecomment-14895039
http-proxy-interceptor is a middleware I wrote for this very purpose. It allows you to modify the http response using one or more transform streams. There are tons of stream-based packages available (like trumpet, which harmon uses), and by using streams you can avoid buffering the entire response.
var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
var modifyResponse = require('http-proxy-response-rewrite');
var proxy = httpProxy.createServer({
target:'target server IP here',
});
proxy.listen(8001);
proxy.on('error', function (err, req, res) {
res.writeHead(500, {
'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
});
res.end('Something went wrong. And we are reporting a custom error message.');
});
proxy.on('proxyRes', function (proxyRes, req, res) {
modifyResponse(res, proxyRes.headers['content-encoding'], function (body) {
if (body && (body.indexOf("<process-order-response>")!= -1)) {
var beforeTag = "</receipt-text>"; //tag after which u can add data to
// response
var beforeTagBody = body.substring(0,(body.indexOf(beforeTag) + beforeTag.length));
var requiredXml = " <ga-loyalty-rewards>\n"+
"<previousBalance>0</previousBalance>\n"+
"<availableBalance>0</availableBalance>\n"+
"<accuruedAmount>0</accuruedAmount>\n"+
"<redeemedAmount>0</redeemedAmount>\n"+
"</ga-loyalty-rewards>";
var afterTagBody = body.substring(body.indexOf(beforeTag)+ beforeTag.length)+
var res = [];
res.push(beforeTagBody, requiredXml, afterTagBody);
console.log(res.join(""));
return res.join("");
}
return body;
});
});
