I am making a simple request to my Node.js API. I am returning 400 as the status code and a custom message in the send method. For some odd reason all that is returned is a Bad Request text in the body not the custom message. Not sure what I am doing wrong. This works fine in development environment but not in staging environment.

Simply 

res.status(400);
res;
res.send('You already are joined');

  • try this `res.status(400).end('You already joined');` – deowk May 08 '15 at 21:25
  • @deolectrix that did not work. Still "Bad Request" in body. – user516883 May 08 '15 at 21:28
  • Is the server behind any load-balancers/nginx? – Alex Alksne May 08 '15 at 21:31
  • No the server is being hosted by Azure. – user516883 May 08 '15 at 21:32
  • What is your development environment where it works? What is different between the development and staging environments? – DrCord May 08 '15 at 21:36
  • @DrCord development box is my local machine (Mac) and staging is a normal iis server. All 200 request works fine in both environments. Something about 400 not allowing custom messages. – user516883 May 08 '15 at 21:39

    I would examine the differences in your environments. The dev is a mac the other is a windows server... – DrCord May 08 '15 at 21:40
