Not even sure if it would easily work but for an upcoming project I may need to set up a web sockets only server, it would not have a database, memcache or even serve static files, all it would need to do is work some logic and update other clients. The server may need to support 1~300000 clients simultaneously so Node.js+NginX makes s...
i looked at the api but i could not find it. where/how should i put data on a POST request on client.request() client.requets("POST" ..)? thanks ...
I'm running a Rails app on Heroku, and I'm trying to port over all inline Twitter requests (namely oauth authentication) to a Node.js app, because when Twitter is slow, since the Ruby server is blocking, the Twitter requests clog up my app. (My average request takes about 50ms, but my average Twitter Oauth request takes about 1500ms!) T...
So I'm following: http://giantflyingsaucer.com/blog/?p=894 and installing node.js. I got up to the part with sudo make install. It works, then it says to create a js file. What I don't understand is where I put the sayhello.js? ...
So I'm installing node.js on amazon ec2 with ubuntu 8.04, and and have run node sayhello.js which is this code: var sys = require('sys'), http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { setTimeout(function () { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'}); res.write('<br/><strong>  ...
Hello there! I have a machine running node.js (v0.1.32) with a tcp server (tcp.createServer) and a http server (http.createServer). The http server is hit by long polling requests (lasting 50 sec each) from a comet based application on port 80. And there are tcp socket connections on port 8080 from an iphone application for the same pur...
I'm not looking for a definition of what it is, but I'm interested in knowing what types of applications people are ( or plan to ) use it for. ...
I'm looking for libraries that parse html pages ( with some leniency, not strict xml parsers ). Can anyone recommend any? Edit: Came across jsdom ...
From googling/forums I think there could be two issues, neither of which I know how to fix: 1) I need to do something with the jsonp callback in the node.js request (which was generated automatically by jquery b/c of the callback=? param) - either add it to the header (where? and how?) or add it to the json response (again, where? and h...
I am creating a small application with a JavaScript client (run in the browser) and a Node.js server, communicating using WebSocket. I would like to share code between the client and the server. I have only just started with Node.js and my knowledge of modern JavaScript is a little rusty, to say the least. So I am still getting my head ...
Hey everyone, I have recently gone into extending my site using node.js and have come to realisation I need a session handler for my PHP sessions. Now everything was cool and dandy and node.js reads the php sessions and can propogate it's own session with the php ones. I am using database sessions so the session data gets saved into a f...
I wanted to add user search auto-complete (like Facebook's) to my Rails app on Heroku, and I chose to write it in Node.js because of the concurrency requirements. The search first pulls a user's friend list (of id's, which include all twitter friends, not just their friends on our site) from Mongo, then searches for users in that list, t...
Hey, long story short, (I only need functionality in Chrome) Context: I'm hacking together a node.js script that automatically watches the files it serves for changes and then uses a websocket connection to push a message to a control page in the browser that manages the reload of assets. For instance, if an html page has an <img href=...
I can actually seem to write it fine as a cookie like this: ["4c3dd477c441e17957000002","4c2ac3cc68fe54616e00002e","4c3dd477c441e17957000003","4c3dd477c441e17957000004"] But how do I read the cookie? I'm using node.js/express.js (and coffee script), and when I read it the cookie key the value I get is just the first value of the abo...
I'm trying to build a server that will handle many concurrent connections to iPhone clients without multi-threading. I will be sending messages to all clients approximately every 10-30 seconds, but most messages will be identical or very similar and easy to sort. Given the setup of high-concurrency but low need for data sorting, I am t...
I noticed that etherpad, when it was alive ( and living clones of it ) used Jetty. I'm considering writing a similar program but I want to use node.js instead. Could anyone offer some insight into the pros and cons of Jetty/node.js performance-wise? ...
I currently use Eclipse as my IDE for other languages and I'm rather used to not having to leave the IDE for anything - however I'm really struggling to find the same or a similar setup for pure ECMAScript-262. To clarify, I am not looking for DOM support, jquery, HTML or anything like that, preferably just an IDE with ECMAScript-262 su...
I have been looking into Node.JS and all the documentation and blogs talk about how it uses an event-loop rather than a per-request model. I am having some confusion understanding the difference. I feel like I am 80% there understanding it but not fully getting it yet. ...
Hi all, I have Apache httpd server and node.js. I need to emulate real JSON data which changes every time. I found, that I can run node.js as server in standalone mode like this: var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); res.end('Hello World\n'); }).list...
I've set up NodeJS and it's returning data when I browse to the URL: http://184.106.206.235 However, when I try to call that URL using $.getJSON, the callback shows "null" for the "data" variable and "success" for the "textStatus" variable. I imagine this could be a cross-domain thing, but I'm surprised that the textStatus says "succe...
