Keep Getting Bad Request from HTTP.request in Node.js
bad-request, node.js
Solution
The http:// in your host is confusing things. Try switching it to "www.google.com". It's an http request, no need to repeat yourself :)
Problem
I just installed Node.js and perhaps I'm missing something but I'm trying a simple http.request and get nothing but 400 responses. I've tried several hosts with no luck. I installed Node from their site, this didn't work, so I uninstalled and installed via Homebrew and get the same output of "400". I'm specifically wondering if there's something I need to change on my Mac to allow Node to send requests. OSX 10.8.4 Node 0.10.13 Homebrew 0.9.4 ``` var http = require("http"); var req = http.request({ host: "http://google.com" }, function(res){ if (res.statusCode === 200) console.log(res); else console.log(res.statusCode); }); req.on("error", function(err){ console.log(err); }); req.end(); ``` I appreciate any help. Thanks!
