Run node.js on W2k?

Michael Hipp — 2013-05-22T17:27:03

Hello,

I'm totally new to node.js. Is there any way to get the Windows x86 version 
to run on w2k?

I'm attempting it with *v0.10.7* and it dies with "node.exe is not a valid 
Win32 application".

Thanks,
Michael

TCP Clients connections supported

Marco — 2013-05-22T16:21:35

Hi

Currently I'm developing a TCP server with nodejs client, clients are GPS 
devices that send data by GPRS_TCP.

How many clients could I connect to the server and it does not fail? The 
idea is that 100 devices to be sending data to the server very 30 seconds.

Best Regards

Crash when sending socket to child process

鋆邓 — 2013-05-22T05:49:27

I use the code from http://www.nodejs.org/api/child_process.html. The main 
process will quit when client sent any data to server. (It quited silently 
without any more log, so I think it crashed, is it?)
My operation system is Windows 7 x64. Tested both x86 version and x64 
version nodejs(0.10.7).

It runs very nice on another 2 computer(one Windows7 x64 and another 
Windows XP x86) and linux(ubuntu x64). I cannot find any difference between 
my computer and the other Windows7 x64. Any one met same problems?

main.js:

var normal = require('child_process').fork('worker.js', ['normal']);
var special = require('child_process').fork('worker.js', ['special']);

// Open up the server and send sockets to child
var server = require('net').createServer();
server.on('connection', function (socket) {

  // just the usual dudes
  normal.send('socket', socket);
});
server.listen(1337);

worker.js

console.log("Worker: ", process.pid, " started");
process.on('message', function(msg, client){
if (msg == "socket") {

Just started looking as some node.js code that I inherited. It uses

It seems the session object is not created but I have no idea why. 
Shouldn't this be created automatically when the user accesses the site?

Thanks for the help!

[ANN] node-ifttt-webhook - a Wordpress XML-RPC to webhook proxy server for ifttt

Ken — 2013-05-22T00:18:24

Nothing profound here, but might be of interest to the hardware hacker/home 
automation geeks in the crowd.  I've been playing around with internet 
connected devices a lot recently (it's actually my day job now<http://www.snupi.com/>) 
and so have been playing with the various channels available on IFTTT, aka 
IF This Then That (http://ifttt.com), which include some cool hardware like 
the Philips HUE bulbs and Belkin's WeMo stuff.  Ironically despite being 
very hacker friendly in conception IFTTT doesn't actually make it easy to 
invoke arbitrary code, but some clever folks had figured out how to hack in 
a webhook proxy in via the existing WordPress integration.  I've ported 
their PHP version to node and it is available here:

https://github.com/femto113/node-ifttt-webhook

Once running on a (public) server, this service allows you to activate the 
WordPress channel and then invoke almost any URL via a recipe.  Running in 
your DMZ you could then use it to hit stuff within your local network, 
which is

The Magnode content management system (and "Why Node.js?!")

Austin William Wright — 2013-05-21T18:29:59

Every so often (maybe twice a week in IRC) someone asks about a blog, 
e-commerce, or content management system for Node.js. I feel compelled to 
ask "Why Node.js", because it seems like one of those "I want to do it 
because I can" rationales. Most people have that exact reason, and not much 
else (that's not non-generic). But that's not to say no such reason exists.

I had this idea of mine long before Node.js, so I have what I believe are 
more practical reasons. A CMS is I/O heavy, not especially computationally 
heavy. ECMAScript is a natural choice because it's prototype-based, 
event-oriented, and of course, the language of the Web. A little while 
after having been introduced to Node.js, I realized what Node.js was 
perfect for, and started work somewhere around v0.4.

Node.js (or any single-process paradigm) brings some design challenges. For 
instance, in my application, I can't make the assumption that all 
legitimate requests will only use a certain amount of memory — some 
applications may req

[ANN] Express Train - Lightweight MVC framework for Express

autoric — 2013-05-21T17:20:46

Hi All,

https://github.com/autoric/express-train 

Express Train is a lightweight mvc framework built on top of express. We 
have developed express train internally and been using it in our 
applications over the last year.

In comparison to other mvc frameworks express train aims to provide *consistent 
structure* and bootstrapping to your projects *without obscuring or or 
rewriting the express api*. 

With our 1.0 release we are now feeling like the project is pretty stable 
and ready to open up to a wider audience. If you have interest, please 
check it out and give feedback.

Thanks!

How to Firmly Establish your Reputation

Ray Connell — 2013-05-21T15:30:33

1. Publish your project idea to git. At this point it doesn't matter if it
works. Someone will immediately contribute it and fix up the bugs.
2. Make sure it has a fairly high revision level to start out. That way lots
of people will download it and you have the best chance of getting some
contributors.
3. Do as many of these projects as possible so people will know how creative
you are.
4. Finally, make sure your full name is on everything so the credit will go
where the credit is due.
Best of Luck in your new career.

The debugger is not responding with a payload message when I send a V8 protocol command

Gabriel Petrovay — 2013-05-21T09:57:48

As I detailed in this issue: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/5512

the V8 debugger does not respond with a body (or it hangs somewhere).

Any ideas why?

product roadmap?

Gowrishankar Holalkere — 2013-05-21T01:42:26

Has Joyent or node team announced their product roadmap? Is it something 
they have talked about at any forums? I think for many folks to consider 
using node, they would like to see the vision / strategy / roadmap for the 
product so that they can commit to it. Any info around this, please share.

Build Live Streaming Server with Nodejs

Duy Nguyen — 2013-05-21T08:45:38

Hi guys,

I have the plan to build a live streaming server using nodejs to support
multi-users connect to my site to watch short clips in real time.

I have googled but not get much valuable results.

Just want to show off our scenario:
   "each day server will show 1 video at the specific time, for example
14:00, userA connects to server at 14:00 and video is streamed to userA's
browser, 10 mins later userB connects to our server, then userB can see the
video from 10th min afterward, and so on...."

I need a solution for both backend (streaming server) and front end(video
player), anyone who which one supports and used widely?

Best all,

Testing with self-signed certs

James Coglan — 2013-05-20T15:15:00

Hi there,

I have various test suites that use self-signed certs to test HTTPS/TLS
stuff. I'm trying to use the 'ca' option of the tls and https clients to
make them trust my certs, rather than forgoing validation at all, since I
would rather give my projects APIs for adding CAs than for disabling
validation.

However when I pass my server certificate in the 'ca' option of an HTTPS
request I get this error:

"Error: Hostname/IP doesn't match certificate's altnames"

I followed these steps to generate the certificate:
http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html

What does this error mean and how do I fix it?

Here are some example scripts that demo the problem:


// server.js

var https = require('https'),
    fs    = require('fs');

var server = https.createServer({
  cert: fs.readFileSync('./server.crt'),
  key:  fs.readFileSync('./server.key')
});

server.on('request', function(request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  response.end('Hello\n');
});

[ANN] mysql2, node-mysql compatible mysql driver

Andrey — 2013-05-20T01:50:11

Hi all,

https://npmjs.org/package/mysql2 - fast, node-mysql compatible mysql 
library.

Protocol implementation is written from scratch, some functionality reused 
from node-mysql (pool, constants)
Tested with node 0.6+, implemented in JavaScript, does not require mysql 
runtime.

Additional features:

  - SSL and compression support,
  - prepared statements
  - server-side protocol. Example of mysql->mysql proxy 
- https://gist.github.com/sidorares/5609893
  - speed. On my box I get 2M rows per second compared to 400k rows/sec 
with node-mysql and 800k rows/sec with mariasql drivers.

https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2

It's still work in progress, feel free to report bugs/benchmarks/node-mysql 
incompatible behaviour.

Andrey

MacPorts vs. Homebrew

Jerome Covington — 2013-05-19T23:02:41

Hi guys, I've been doing it all on Ubuntu so far but I'm going to
consolidate down to doing all my work on a Mac for a while here. Apt-get
made a lot of sense to me and I'm wondering if I should learn ports or
homebrew first just as far as what the NodeJS community might be using more
often.

net-ping 1.1.7 now available - implements trace route functionality

Stephen Vickers — 2013-05-19T21:48:51

Hi All,

Version 1.1.7 of net-ping is now available and introduces the traceRoute() 
method to provide a function similar to the trace route utility on some 
networked operating systems.

I've just uploaded it to npm, so you'll need to use the following link to 
access it right now:

https://npmjs.org/package/net-ping/1.1.7

In this version you can now control the IP header time to live for general 
pings, and access round trip time information.

'Unshift' in transform stream

HungryHippo — 2013-05-19T10:45:19

I'm having a problem with streams2 transform. I have a stream which reads 
from a file and transforms the csv data to json. the transform works fine 
but at present if I have an incomplete chunk of data my 'unshift' command 
moves the data to my transform output rather than back to my transform 
input ! 

Transform code :
 

var Transform = require('stream').Transform,
    util = require('util')

module.exports = function (columns, opts, cb) { return new 
CSVStream(columns, opts, cb) }

module.exports.CSVStream = CSVStream

function CSVStream (columns, opts, cb) {
  opts = opts || {}

  Transform.call(this, columns, opts)

  this.delimiter = opts.delimiter || ','
  this.newline = opts.newline || '\n'
  this.columns = columns;
}

util.inherits(CSVStream, Transform)

CSVStream.prototype._transform = function (chunk, encoding, done) 
{
  try {
    this._parse(chunk)
    done()
  } catch (err) {
    done(err)
  }
}

CSVStream.prototype._parse = function (data) 
{  
  console.log('_parse start');
  var i=0,j=0;
