problem performing an http GET request

[noamso1]

Hi could anyone please help?
i'm trying to use http GET but i don't get the data response.

connecting to wifi is successful, but after calling http.get the console shows the function object and does not print the actual data.

this is my code:

const WiFi = require('wifi').WiFi;
const wifi = new WiFi();
wifi.connect({ ssid: 'edimax_2.4G_EF8343', password: 'pass.......' }, (err) => {console.log(err)} )
const http = require('http');
http.get({ host: 'eogywfjtcmeixsk.m.pipedream.net', path: '/' }, function (response) { response.on('data', function (chunk) { console.log(chunk); }); });

and this is what i get in the console:

{
  _events: {
    response: [
      [Function]
    ]
  },
  destroyed: false,
  _wbuf: '',

I've been trying to make requests as well, for me the issue was that I was getting a 400 Bad Request back. I saw that by doing a console.log(response) of the response the callback got.

As far as I can tell the problem is that Host header is actually required in HTTP/1.1 (according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP#Client_request) and my simple node server just refused the request while parsing it.

Also chunk is a Uint8Array, so you have to decode it to actually get the string version.
I also think there might be multiple data events so you might also want to listen to close

So maybe try something like this?

const WiFi = require('wifi').WiFi;
const wifi = new WiFi();
wifi.connect({ ssid: 'edimax_2.4G_EF8343', password: 'pass.......' }, (err) => {console.log(err)} )
const http = require('http');
http.get({ host: 'eogywfjtcmeixsk.m.pipedream.net', path: '/', headers: { host: 'eogywfjtcmeixsk.m.pipedream.net' } }, function (response) {
 console.log(response.statusCode)
 let body = ''
 const decoder = new TextDecoder();
 response.on('data', function (chunk) {
   // Note: chunk is Uint8Array
   const txt = decoder.decode(chunk)
   body += txt 
   console.log(txt); 
 });
 response.on('close', function() {
   console.log('all done!', body)
 }) 
});
