嵌套回调中的nodejs套接字挂断错误

Question

I try to put many callbacks in a callback, but the program will shut down after the return of several success requests and post "socket hang up" error. I try to collect data from response and output them at once, can someone tell me which part goes wrong... By the way, I hide the details of request method, I promise the request method works on http call.

http.request(options1,function(data){
    var condition=data.length;
    var result=[];
    data.foreach(item,function(data){
        http.request(options2, function(data){
             if(data) result.push(data);
             condition--;
             if(condition<=0) console.log(result);
        }
    });
});

for my http.request method

var request=function(options,callback){
    http.request(options,function(res){
        var body;

        res.on('data',function(chunk){
             body+=chunk;
        });
        res.on('end',function(){
             callback(JSON.parse(body));
        });

    request.end();
};

That's not the correct usage of http.request() .

• The http.request() callback is passed an IncomingMessage object, not buffered response data.

  • EDIT: Your custom request() should look something like this, although you should handle errors too. Note the proper placement of request.end() and initializing var body = '' :

     function request(options, callback) { http.request(options,function(res) { var body = ''; res.setEncoding('utf8'); res.on('data',function(chunk) { body += chunk; }).on('end',function() { callback(JSON.parse(body)); }); }).end(); } 

• You're missing .end() for your requests so that node.js knows you are ready to actually send the HTTP request: http.request(..., ....).end(); . This is the cause of your particular error... the server hangs up the connection because it got tired of waiting for your request after the TCP connection was opened.
