Express NodeJS中的HTTP请求

Question

I have the following code from https://github.com/chjj/tty.js/ :

  this.get("/hola", function(res) {
    iniciar();
  });

  function iniciar() {
    self.init();
  }
  iniciar();

going to localhost:8080/hola , it does not load. localhost:8080 works perfectly. self.init() calls a function that, in turn, calls other functions. The problem seems to be the following called function:

Server.prototype.initMiddleware = function() {
  var self = this
    , conf = this.conf;

  this.use(function(req, res, next) {
    var setHeader = res.setHeader;
    res.setHeader = function(name) {
      switch (name) {
        case 'Cache-Control':
        case 'Last-Modified':
        case 'ETag':
          return;
      }
      return setHeader.apply(res, arguments);
    };
    next();
  });

  this.use(function(req, res, next) {
    return self._auth(req, res, next);
  });

  this.use(term.middleware());
  this.use(this.app.router);
  this.use(express.static(__dirname + '/../static'));
};

According to express.js documentation:

// a middleware sub-stack which prints request info for any type of HTTP request to /user/:id
app.use('/user/:id', function(req, res, next) {
  console.log('Request URL:', req.originalUrl);
  next();
}, function (req, res, next) {
  console.log('Request Type:', req.method);
  next();
});

So, it seems that there are "conflicts" between first app.get and the others app.use or this.use . How can I solve that?

Answer 1

it's because you are not returnig anything and then the browser is polling this until it return something.

this.app.get("/hola", function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'content-type':'text/html'});
    res.end('/*html code here*/');
  });
