I am running a web server on node the code for which is given below
var restify = require('restify');
var server = restify.createServer();
var quotes = [
{ author : 'Audrey Hepburn', text : "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"},
{ author : 'Walt Disney', text : "You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you"},
{ author : 'Unknown', text : "Even the greatest was once a beginner. Don't be afraid to take that first step."},
{ author : 'Neale Donald Walsch', text : "You are afraid to die, and you're afraid to live. What a way to exist."}
];
server.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.json(quotes);
});
server.get('/quote/random', function(req, res) {
var id = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length);
var q = quotes[id];
res.json(q);
});
server.get('/quote/:id', function(req, res) {
if(quotes.length <= req.params.id || req.params.id < 0) {
res.statusCode = 404;
return res.send('Error 404: No quote found');
}
var q = quotes[req.params.id];
res.json(q);
});
server.listen(process.env.PORT || 3011);
And then i want to do a get request in the following code
var https = require('http');
/**
* HOW TO Make an HTTP Call - GET
*/
// options for GET
var optionsget = {
host : 'http://localhost',
port : 3010,
path : '/quote/random', // the rest of the url with parameters if needed
method : 'GET' // do GET
};
console.info('Options prepared:');
console.info(optionsget);
console.info('Do the GET call');
// do the GET request
var reqGet = https.request(optionsget, function(res) {
console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
// uncomment it for header details
// console.log("headers: ", res.headers);
res.on('data', function(d) {
console.info('GET result:\n');
process.stdout.write(d);
console.info('\n\nCall completed');
});
});
reqGet.end();
reqGet.on('error', function(e) {
console.error(e);
});
I am just starting with node and i dont even know if this is the right way. I want to test the performance of express and restify.I have done a apache benchmark test for the server code i wrote and found contradicting results that restify is better.So i want to test out some more by making calls to remote services and then later read write to mongodb.The above code is my starting point.I am getting the error
{ [Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND] code: 'ENOTFOUND', errno: 'ENOTFOUND', syscall: 'getaddrinfo' }
Am i atleast heading in the write direction? What is the right way to the kind of tests that i want to? Why did i get the result restify faster than express? Can anyone guide me to the best starting point tutorials for application in node/express/backbone and mongodb?
