JS httpclient with java.net.ConnectException

[Seb Heymann]

Hello,

I'm using the JS httpclient but I get a Java exception when connecting on a false address. Why don't I have a JS exception? How to catch such exception? The following code doesn't work:

var client = vertx.createHttpClient(),

client.host("localhost");

try {

        client.getNow("/", function(response) {

            console.log('Response: ' + response.statusCode());

        });

} catch(e) {

        logger.err(e);

}

I try to migrate from Node.js to Vert.x but I've found the client harder to use compared to request. Anyway Vert.x is really promising so I hope that it will continue to evolve!
