node.js requestjs

I get an error when I'm executing GET request.

Error: read ECONNRESET
    at TLSWrap.onStreamRead (internal/stream_base_commons.js:111:27) errno: 'ECONNRESET', code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' }

It happens when I try to make GET request to https://www.adidas.co.uk/api/search/taxonomy?query=men but it works when I use https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/api/todos/1.

Request:

var request = require('request');
[...]
app.use('/api', cacheMiddleware(), function (req, out) {


      var headers = {
        //'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0',
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        //'Content-Type': 'application/jsond'
      };

      var url = getDestinationUrl(req);
      if (req.method === 'POST') {
        console.log('POST body:')
        console.log(req.body);
        result = request.post({ uri: url, json: req.body, headers: headers, followRedirect: true , maxRedirects: 10}, function (error, response, body) { handleResponse(req, out, error, response, body) });
      } else {
        result = request({ uri: url, headers: headers, followRedirect: true,  maxRedirects: 10 }, function (error, response, body) { handleResponse(req, out, error, response, body) });
      }

    });

log:

UPDATE: It works with axios:

app.use('/api', cacheMiddleware(), function (req, out) {
  var url = getDestinationUrl(req);
  if (req.method === 'POST') {
    axios.post(url, req.body)
      .then(response => {
        handleResponse(req, out, response, response.data)
      })
      .catch(error => {
        handleResponseError(req, out, error)
      });
  } else {
    axios.get(url)
      .then(response => {
        handleResponse(req, out, response, response.data)
      })
      .catch(error => {
        handleResponseError(req, out, error)
      });
  }
});

"ECONNRESET" means the other side of the TCP conversation abruptly closed its end of the connection.

This error simply means that the other side closed the connection in a way that was probably not normal (or may be in a hurry).

An example is: a socket connection can be closed by the other party abruptly due to several reasons or you lost your wifi signal while running your app. Then you will see this error / exception on your side.

Solution- It happening because you are not listening/handling to the 'error' event, to deal with it you should put a listener which can handle such errors.

  • Safely "throwing" errors
  • Safely "catching" errors

Its working in Axios because you are using promises for async error handling.
