node 0.3.6 http.request setTimeout?

[erdem]

I was setting the timeout value for a http request as such:
var client = http.createClient(80, 'www.google.com');
client.connection.setTimeout(5000);

As I see, there is a new Http API on 0.3.6 and there is no setTimeout
method for streams.

How can I set the timeout value for a http request?

Thanks,

setTimeout() still exists the way it did previously for sockets:

Which means reaching into the ClientRequest for the underlying
socket... Seems like http.request options should include a 'timeout'
member.

Maybe we should forward to nodejs-dev?

This will be fixed in v0.3.7 - due out today or tomorrow.

Thanks ryan.

Hello ryan,

Today I've install v0.3.7 but still I can't figure out how to set timeout value for httpClientRequest.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Something similar for non-responding hosts ECONNRESET etc.. would be
good instead of reaching in to get the socket. I am using 0.2.5 though
so this may have been resolved since

Hi

I just added setTimeout() for http request https://github.com/kembaren/node

Here is how you use it:

var http = require('http');
http.setTimeout(1000);

Thanks
