Redirect on a different location and port in node.js

Question

To redirect a user to a different page, we usually do:

res.writeHead(302, {
    Location: '/test'
});
res.end();

What if I want to redirect him on a different port? I tried to add a field 'Port' but it seems to don t work.

You need to specify the full URL:

res.writeHead(302, {
    Location: 'http://anotherdomain.com:8888/some/path'
});
res.end();
