         method: 'POST',
         url: config.api + '/index',
         body: {
         name: "name"
        },
        json: true
      })

        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
        ^

I write this: It work fine, you can modify it like this.

     request({
           method: 'POST',
           url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' + '/index',
           body: {
           name: "name"
          },
          json: true
          })

I met a similar issue on Win10 after a system update. It was caused by the system proxy settings.

http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8888
https_proxy=127.0.0.1:8888

Change the above environment settings to

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888

done the job for me.

Btw, if you use git-bash, you can also check the git config.

$git config --list
...
http.sslverify=false
http.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
https.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
...
