忽略Node中HTTP请求的标头验证

Question

I am building a proxy server which is supposed to forward data from an Shoutcast server to the client. Using request or even Node's http module this fails due to missing HTTP header:

{ [Error: Parse Error] bytesParsed: 0, code: 'HPE_INVALID_CONSTANT' }

The URL in question is: http://stream6.jungletrain.net:8000

Doing a header request with curl I was able to verify this:

$ curl -I http://stream6.jungletrain.net:8000
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

Yet the stream is working fine as tested with curl stream6.jungletrain.net:8000 .

---

Is there a way to disable the header verification in request or Node's http ? This is the code I am testing it on:

var express = require('express');
var request = require('request');
var app = express();

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  request('http://stream6.jungletrain.net:8000').pipe(res);
  stream.pipe(res);
});

var server = app.listen(3000, function () {
  console.log('Server started')
});

I am aware this can be achieved by rolling an implementation with net , there is also icecast-stack but subjectively seen it only implements half of the Stream interfaces properly.

Using icecast , I was able to get this working both using the on('data') event and by piping it to the Express response:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var icecast = require('icecast');

var url = 'http://stream6.jungletrain.net:8000';

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    icecast.get(url, function(icecastRes) {
        console.error(icecastRes.headers);
        icecastRes.on('metadata', function(metadata) {
            var parsed = icecast.parse(metadata);
            console.error(parsed);
        });
        icecastRes.on('data', function(chunk) {
            console.log(chunk);
        })
    });
});

var server = app.listen(3000, function() {
    console.log('Server started')
});

Or simply:

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    icecast.get(url).pipe(res);
});

Also of some note:

It appears the icecast package has been superseded by https://www.npmjs.com/package/icy
