nodejs httprequest with data - getting error getaddrinfo ENOENT

Question

Update - Answered by self

I see one has to make sure that the DNS is resolved properly from the machine, check out the node documentation to make sure that domain

Answer 1

The problem can also happen if you have a trailing slash:

Good: "www.google.com"

Bad: "www.google.com/"

Answer 2

I've seen this happen when your host (which you pass in as httpaction) has the scheme (so "http://") in front of it. Your host should strictly be the domain like "www.google.com" not "http://www.google.com" or "www.google.com/hello-world" or "http://www.google.com/hello-world".

Keep it just the domain.
