HttpClient to HTTPS API

[Marcos Chicote]

Hi

I'm trying to request some information from an HTTPS API. The following works fine:

 curl 'https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/MLA/search?q=cartera&seller_id=156853713&limit=10&offset=0'

However, this hangs: 

var client = restify.createClient({
    url: "https://api.mercadolibre.com"
});

search = function(response, name, store_id, limit, offset) {
    client.get("/sites/MLA/search?q=cartera&seller_id=156853713&limit=10&offset=0", function (err, req) {
        assert.ifError(err); // connection error
        var str = ''

        req.on('result', function (err, v_res) {
            assert.ifError(err); // HTTP status code >= 400

            v_res.on('data', function (chunk) {
                str += chunk;
            });

            v_res.on('end', function () {
                response.send(str)
            });
        });
    });
}

with the following error: ECONNRESET.

Googling around I found this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10771875/node-js-https-request-error but the answer does not seem to work for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks
