In my node site I call a restful API service I have built using a standard http get. After a few hours of this communication successfully working I find that the request stops being sent, it just waits and eventually times out.
The API that is being called is still receiving requests from elsewhere perfectly well but when a request is sent from the site it does not reach the API. The data being sent is a pdf of between 1 and 10 pages. I have tried with stream.pipe, util.pump and just writing the file to the file system. I am using Node 0.6.15. My site and the service that is being called are on the same server so calls to localhost are being made. Memory usage is about 25% over all with cpu averaging about 10% usage. After a while of the problem I started using the request<https://github.com/mikeal/request> module but I get the same behaviour. The number of calls it makes before failing varies it seems between 5 to 100. In the end I have to restart the site but not the api to make it work again. Here is roughly what the code in the site looks like: var Request = require('request'); downloadPDF: function(req, res) { Project.findById(req.params.Project_id, function(err, project) { project.findDoc(req.params.doc_id ,function(err, doc) { var pdfileName = doc.name + ".pdf"; res.contentType(pdfileName); res.header('Content-Disposition', "filename=" + pdfileName); Request("http://localhost:3001/"; + project._id).pipe(res); }); }); } I am loss at what could be happening. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
