Where to end, when piping? about form-data HOT 10 CLOSED

Can you show me your "loop"? So I'd have some context on what you're trying to do. Thanx.

Hi, it worked in a different way. Now I just did it the old way:

var http = require('http');

var request = http.request({
method: 'post',
host: 'example.org',
path: '/upload',
headers: form.getHeaders()
});

form.pipe(request);
req.on('response', function(res) {
res.on('data', function(data) {
winston.info({"response": data});
});
req.end();
});

Is there a better way to do it?

It's hard to understand what is your goal and therefore hard to tell if there is "a better way to do it".

If you'd show your code, I'd be able to help you.

when i add request.end the upload does not seem to work. yesterday without request.end i was having socket hang up error. where do you suggest i place the request.end in a situation where there is file upload involved?

from form-data.

Try this snippet:

var FormData = require('form-data');
var fs = require('fs');

var form = new FormData();
form.append('my_field', 'my value');
form.append('my_file', fs.createReadStream('/foo/bar.jpg'));

form.submit('example.org/upload', function(err, res) {
  console.log(res.statusCode);
});

Or show your code which has failed
and I can tell you what's the problem.

Btw, what version of are you using?

from form-data.

node v0.10.5
form-data 0.0.8

from form-data.

Maybe it's the problem with hanging response, because of new streams?
Do you have data listener on the response? Or do you pipe it anywhere?

If not, try this one:

form.submit('example.org/upload', function(err, res) {
  console.log(res.statusCode);
  res.resume(); // <---- this one
});

I assume it's all fine now.
