using net module to send POST method request

[Tushar Jain]

HI Folks,

I am trying to use NET module, but facing some error

var socket = net.Socket();

socket.on('connect', function () {

    console.log("Connection created");

});

socket.on('data', function (d) {

    console.log(d);

});

socket.on('error', function (err) {

    console.log(err.toString());

});

socket.on('end', function () {

    console.log('connection ends');

});

socket.connect(80,"https://www.google.com");

I am getting getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error. please let me know if you have any solution.

Also how can i use NET module to send POST method request[I am not allowed to use HTTP module, have to do this using socket programming only]

thanks in advance

That's a URL, not a host name, so it's not looking up -- you want to connect to 'www.google.com' on port 80. (Also, for the record: you're not setting up TLS there, so you'll not be on a secure connection, it won't be https, and if it were, the port for https is 443. Yay complications!)

That's a strange restriction -- homework for a programming course trying to make you understand a simple protocol?

The specification is in the HTTP RFC; in short, it's "POST path HTTP/1.1\r\n\Header: value\r\nHeader: value\r\n\r\nbodyhere", but there's plenty of details.

Wouldn't HTTPS be on port 443 instead of 80?
