node.js - request - How to “emitter.setMaxListeners()”?

Question

When I do a GET on a certain URI using the node.js \'request\' module;

var options = {uri:\"aURI\", headers:headerData};
request.get(options, function (error         


        

Answer 1

This is how I solved the problem:

In main.js of the 'request' module I added one line:

Request.prototype.request = function () {
  var self = this
  self.setMaxListeners(0); // Added line

This defines unlimited listeners http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.7/api/events.html#emitter.setMaxListeners

In my code I set the 'maxRedirects' value explicitly:

var options = {uri:headingUri, headers:headerData, maxRedirects:100};
