HTTPS request in NodeJS

Question

I am trying to write a NodeJS app which will talk to the OpenShift REST API using the request method in the https package. Here is the code:

var https = require(         


        

Answer 1

Comparing what headers curl and node sent, i found that adding:

headers: {
    accept: '*/*'
}

to options fixed it.

To see which headers curl sends, you can use the -v argument.
curl -vIX GET https://openshift.redhat.com/broker/rest/api

In node, just console.log(req._headers) after req.end().

Quick tip: You can use https.get(), instead of https.request(). It will set method to GET, and calls req.end() for you.
