For a little more clarity the mongo call never fails. There is actually
logging around it as now shown below which is always hit.
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);
console.log("sending request for "+project._id);
Request("http://localhost:3001/"; + project._id).pipe(res);
});
});
}
