SocketIOException: Write failed (OS Error: Broken pipe, errno = 32) - WTF? =)

[Jakob Dam Jensen]

So I've started playing around with Dart. I've reached a point where I'm trying to send a HTTP GET requests to another server (from a dart VM app).

I'm using the HttpClient in the dart:io package but I'm getting a SocketIOException when connecting.

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
  HttpClientConnection connection = client.openUrl('get', new Uri.fromString("http://localhost:8383/users"));

  connection.onResponse = (HttpClientResponse response){
    List<int> content = response.inputStream.read(response.contentLength);
    String contentString = new String.fromCharCodes(content);
    print(contentString);
  };

  connection.onError = (Exception e){
    print("error");
    print(e);
  };

I've looked into the docs and the source code for HttpClient and SocketIOException - but I can't find any explanation for this type of error. Also I've tried accessing the url from a browser and it works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks..

Could the problem be the capitalization of 'get'? I think servers
will only accept uppercase 'GET'.

HAHA - You're absolutely right. That was stupid =)

Thanks

If you're interested, there is also an HTTP package that provides an alternate API for doing HTTP requests. Using that, I believe your code would be:

http.get("http://localhost:8383/users")..then((response) {

  print(response.body);

})..handleException((ex) {

  print("error");

  print(ex);

});

If you want something more Future-based and high-level (though not as comprehensive and full-featured as dart:io), you may want to take a look at that. It's what we use internally in Pub.
