If you take a look at the ExpressJS source for res.status you will see that the function expects a Number, not a String:

/**
 * Set status `code`.
 *
 * @param {Number} code
 * @return {ServerResponse}
 * @public
 */

res.status = function status(code) {
  this.statusCode = code;
  return this;
};

  • what can i do now .. if i want to add this 'EXTINF-10202' status code – its me Mar 21 '17 at 06:16
  • That is not a valid HTTP status code, you would be better off sending the code in your JSON: `res.json({ code: ''EXTINF-10202'', message: 'not found, please register' })` – Rob M. Mar 21 '17 at 06:17
  • ok i understood but is it possible to give return res.status('EXTINF-10202').json({ 'message': 'not found, please register' }); – its me Mar 21 '17 at 06:25
  • Sorry, it is not possible, because that is not a valid HTTP status code that browsers will understand - there is a limited set of valid HTTP status codes that you can use. – Rob M. Mar 21 '17 at 06:31
