How to set user-agent in nodejs?

Question

I tried this, but I get an error.

http.get({ url: 'http://www.panda.tv/ajax_chatinfo?roomid=89757',
    agent: 'Mozilla/5.0' }, function(res) {
    res.on('data', function(chunk) {
        doSomething();
    });
});

I read the API documentation, but I didn't find anything on how to create.

When I run the code, I get the following error:

_http_client.js:158
    self.agent.addRequest(self, options);
               ^

TypeError: self.agent.addRequest is not a function

Answer 1

const options = {
  hostname: 'www.panda.tv',
  path: 'ajax_chatinfo?roomid=89757',
  headers: { 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0' }
};

http.get(options, function(res) {
  res.on('data', function(chunk) { console.log(chunk) });
});

Consider next npm modules request or superagent, they will help you much with processing http requests. Drop a comment if you need examples, but I'm sure you'll get it from documentations. GL.
