@PrivateGER Well yeah, node has a "net" module for that, but still I have to make an http client using raw packets...
-
@Root
Why what? -
@WIPocket Why are you writing an http client? Unless it's for fun, you have plenty of alternatives to choose from.
-
@Root I need to write it in nodejs and the default http module (that all other third party modules I found rely on) cant handle a response with no headers.
-
@WIPocket Oh, the server is using http0.9; got it.
-
@12bitfloat ??
I need headers. The dev that made the api tought I need no headers. -
@WIPocket Oh I get it now
HTTP response code cheat sheet
(From /r/Programmer humor)
This never gets old...
Exactly
So I just spent 2 hours debugging a script that fetches data from an API. Thats all it was supposed to do. Http get some data.
It wasnt working and was giving a "parse error". Worked fine in browser.
So it turns out it was using http 0.9 (first documented http version, defined in 1991) and wasnt sending any headers. And js cant do no headers...
So yea I now have to write a tcp / http 0.9 client in js
