Sending http request in node.js

Question

I am trying to send a http request to a neo4j database using node.js. This is the code I am using:

var options = {         host: 'localhost',         port: 7474,         path: '/db/data',         method: 'GET',         headers: {             accept: 'application/json'         }     };  console.log("Start"); var x = http.request(options,function(res){     console.log("Connected");     res.on('data',function(data){         console.log(data);     }); }); 

I check out that the database is running (I connect to the administration web page and everything is working). I am afraid that the problem is not on the database side but on the node.js side.

I hope some could give some light about this issue. I want to learn how to send a http request in node.js, the answer does not have to be specific to the neo4j issue.

Thanks in advance

If it's a simple GET request, you should use http.get()

Otherwise, http.request() needs to be closed.

var options = {     host: 'localhost',     port: 7474,     path: '/db/data',     method: 'GET',     headers: {         accept: 'application/json'     } };  console.log("Start"); var x = http.request(options,function(res){     console.log("Connected");     res.on('data',function(data){         console.log(data);     }); });  x.end();
