How do I make this curl call with nodejs request module

I am able to send a request to browsermob using curl like so: curl -X PUT -d "pageRef=car" localhost:9000/proxy/8081/har/pageRef. However, I would like to do this inside nodejs using the request module. What is the equivalent command using the request module? I assume it is something like request.put(url, data, callback) but when I try request.put('localhost:9000/proxy/8081/har/pageRef', {form: { pageRef: encodeURI(browser.platform) + encodeURI(browser.browserName) + encodeURI(browser.version) }}), I get

Error: Invalid protocol at Request.self._buildRequest (/Users/dragonite/Pixel/node_modules/request/request.js:336:53) at Request.init (/Users/dragonite/Pixel/node_modules/request/request.js:503:10) at new Request (/Users/dragonite/Pixel/node_modules/request/request.js:97:8) at request (/Users/dragonite/Pixel/node_modules/request/index.js:50:11) at Function.request.put (/Users/dragonite/Pixel/node_modules/request/index.js:121:27) at repl:1:10 at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:110:21) at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:239:12) at Interface.emit (events.js:95:17) at Interface._onLine (readline.js:203:10)

Solution

  • It looks like you are just missing the protocol in front of the url like:

    request.put('http://localhost:9000/proxy/8081/har/pageRef', {form: { pageRef: encodeURI(browser.platform) + encodeURI(browser.browserName) + encodeURI(browser.version) }})
