I want to get the headers of the website "". This should be a 302 Moved Permanently and I want to call the referred link which is provided in the response header.
Here is my code:
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', "/", false);
req.send(null);
var headers = req.getAllResponseHeaders().toLowerCase();
console.log(headers);
And here is the error message:
/home/node_modules/xmlhttprequest/lib/XMLHttpRequest.js:230
for (var i in response.headers) {
TypeError: Cannot read property 'headers' of undefined
at getAllResponseHeaders (/home/node_modules/xmlhttprequest/lib/XMLHttpRequest.js:230:27)
at Object.<anonymous> (/home/browse/init.js:67:19)
at Module._pile (module.js:456:26)

Do you really need
XMLHttpRequest
or just http.request or may be mikeal/request? – Sarbbottam Commented Sep 3, 2014 at 19:23 -

Reset to default 8If you want to use xmlHttpRequest with Node js you have to install required package.
First, write this line in a console:
npm install xmlhttprequest
Then, when you write a .js file on your server , you have to indicate first
var XMLHttpRequest = require("xmlhttprequest").XMLHttpRequest;
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
The following code should be sufficient, as per the ment, you don't need XHR
.
var http = require('http');
var options = {
hostname: 'www.google.',
port: 80,
method: 'GET'
};
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
console.log('headers:\n' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('body:\n' + chunk);
});
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
req.end();
