node.js setEncoding issue
node.js
Solution
Class http.ServerResponse has no setEncoding method. You trying to set header 'charset' but 'charset' is part of 'Content-Type' header. Try this:
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain; charset=utf8'});
Remember that this is just information for client about how to interpret the contents, not rule.
Problem
If I run the code below with the "setEncoding" line uncommented, I receive the following error: /usr/local/test-server/test.js:78 ``` res.setEncoding('utf8'); ^ ``` TypeError: Object # has no method 'setEncoding' Without that line, everything works as expected - except for browsers complaining about undeclared character encoding. Nothing in the docs, SO, the GitHub issues list, or extensive Googling have turned up anything useful. node.js version is the latest: 0.8.6 ``` var https = require('https'); var sslPrivateKey = fs.readFileSync('./pk.pem'); var sslCert = fs.readFileSync('./cert.pem'); var sslOpts = { key: sslPrivateKey, cert: sslCert }; var server = https.createServer(sslOpts, function(req, res) { if ('GET' === req.method) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain','charset': 'utf8'}); //res.setEncoding('utf8'); res.write('You are here' + "\n"); res.end(); } } server.listen(8080); ```
