NodeJS http.request not returning data even after specifying return on the 'end' event

Question

Basically I am trying to scrap some data from website and perform the DOM extraction, deletion and updation on a callback function binded to the \'end\' event of http.

Is your 'var scraper' also in the route.js file? I guess it's not and you are unable to access that other js file, for doing so use module.exports.

eg.

// module.js
var name = "foobar";
// export it
exports.name = name; 



Then, in route.js...
>      //route.js
>      // get a reference to your required module
>      var myModule = require('./module'); 
>      //correct path to folder where your above file is
>      // name is a member of myModule due to the export above
>      var name = myModule.name;
