I'm having an issue in Node-red when in my flow I have several http requests to another services in my node-red. As far as I can see the error always comes when I do the second call to the same domain (i.e.: localhost, although it could be with another domain)

As summary: I have 2 different flows:

  • One as a gitlab interface for retrieving files from there. So from here I call to the gitlab server (Flow 1)
  • Another one my application, that needs to retrieve 2 different files. From this flow, I call 2 times to the previous flow (Flow 2)

So, once my second flow is started, and after some JavaScript and switch nodes, I call by the first time to to first flow, which calls to gitlab. This works absolutely fine The second flow continues and calls again, after another JavaScript nodes, to the first flow, and it seems that the flow is freezes and nothing happens, and after 2 minutes I get this error:

Do you have an idea what could be the error?

I've searched in internet about this error in nodejs, for instance:

Nodejs Socket hang up & ECONNRESET - HTTP post request from Meteor to Node js server Node.js POST causes [Error: socket hang up] code: 'ECONNRESET' Node js ECONNRESET I've been testing locally some of these possible solutions (modifying the library follow-redirects and the node 21-httprequest.js) but without any success, so I'm lost about why this error occurs

I've tried also to set a delay, just to be sure that it's not a timing issue

I'm using node-red v0.16.2 and nodejs v4.4.3

Thanks in advance, regards.

PS: I've done a test with metrics active:

When you have two HTTP Request nodes in the same flow, you must ensure you delete the msg.headers property returned by the first node before passing the msg to the second node. This is because the headers from the first node are the response headers, and by passing them to the second node you are asking that node to use those headers in making its request.

You should also make use of the Debug node to see where a flow is getting to; your second call to the gitlab_interface flow is hanging - adding Debug nodes after each node in that flow would tell you where the flow was getting to.
