Hello,

I am new to node.js and try to do the following:

read items from file (database entries)
 for each item do expensive I/O operation (download stuff)
  with the results do another expensive I/O operation (send mail)

my approach in node.js involves map from async and looks like this:

var async = require("async");
database.read(arg, function (error, results) {
 async.map(results, downloadFunction, function(err, results) {
   async.map(results, sendFunction, function() {
   });
 });
});

This does not work as expected. Particularly async.map does not work
as expected, e.g.

function small(char, callback) {
  callback("error occured", char.toLowerCase());
};

async.map(["a", "b"], small, function(err, result){
    console.log(err);
    console.log(result);
});

results in:

error occured
[ 'a' ]


which I do not understand. As said, I am completly new to node.

Thank you.
