A basic request manager to handle http requests in node
There are two parts to it:
- A basic express server
- A socket server listening to http requests.
A GET request to api/request?connId=19&timeout=80
This API will keep the request running for provided time on the server side.
After the successful completion of the provided time it should return {"status":"ok"}
A GET request to api/status
This API returns all the running requests on the server with their time left for completion.
E.g {"2":"15","8":"10"} where 2 and 8 are the connIds and 15 and 10 is the time remaining for the requests to complete (in seconds).
A PUT request to api/kill
This API will finish the running request with provided connId, so that the finished request returns {"status":"killed"} and the current request will return {"status":"ok"}. If no running request found with the provided connId on the server then the current request should return {"status":"invalid connection Id : <connId>"}
Getting started
npm installto install all the dependencies- Running the express server -
npm start - Running the socket server -
node socket_server.js
Issue with socket server
For some reason. The PUT request on my machine fails to send response back to the client.
The request gets killed successfully but the other side of the TCP connection gets closed unexpectedly.
A POST request however seems to work as expected.
