I train myslef with NodeJS and tried a simple GET call. Here is my code:
var http = require('http');
var options = {
host: 'www.boardgamegeek.com'.path: '/xmlapi/boardgame/1? stats=1'.method: 'GET'
}
var request = http.request(options, function (response) {
var str = ""
response.on('data'.function (data) {
str += data;
});
response.on('end'.function () {
console.log(str);
});
});
request.on('error'.function (e) {
console.log('Problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
request.end();
When behind a proxy you need to make the following modifications (as explained in this answer):
put the proxy host in the host parameter
put the proxy port in the port parameter
put the full destination URL in the path parameter :
Which gives:
var options = {
host: '<PROXY_HOST>'.port: '<PROXY_PORT>'.path: 'http://www.boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi/boardgame/1?stats=1'.method: 'GET'.headers: {
Host: 'www.boardgamegeek.com'}}Copy the code
