javascript - Node http.ClientRequest does not fire "error" event -

i have following javascript node.js code:

    var options = {          host: "x.y.z"         ,path: "/api/abc/"         ,method: "get"     };      var req = http.request(options);     req.on('response' , function(data) {       console.log("response: ",data.statuscode);       done();    });     req.on('error' , function() {       console.log("error");       done();    });     req.end(); 

i can't error event when actual http request error occurs. missing ?

preliminary findings: appear failure case "no response server" (e.g. due network issue) not fire event. so, workaround create 'timer' , trap condition yourself.

try using if / else statement instead of 2 independent functions.

if(response want && response.statuscode = 200){    //logic } else {    //console.log("error") }
