I am trying to write a NodeJS app which will talk to the OpenShift REST API using the request method in the https package. Here is the code:
var https = require('https');
var options = {
host: 'openshift.redhat.com',
port: 443,
path: '/broker/rest/api',
method: 'GET'
};
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
console.log(res.statusCode);
res.on('data', function(d) {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
});
req.end();
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.error(e);
});
But this is giving me an error (status code 500 is returned). When I did the same thing using curl on the command line,
curl -k -X GET https://openshift.redhat.com/broker/rest/api
I am getting the correct response from the server.
Is there anything wrong in the code?
Comparing what headers curl and node sent, i found that adding:
headers: {
accept: '*/*'
}
to options
fixed it.
To see which headers curl sends, you can use the -v
argument.
curl -vIX GET https://openshift.redhat.com/broker/rest/api
In node, just console.log(req._headers)
after req.end()
.
Quick tip: You can use https.get()
, instead of https.request()
. It will set method to GET
, and calls req.end()
for you.
