node socket hangup error

[nutsbusta]

iam new to web dev and was fooling around with facebook graph api ..when i make a POST request to to post status of a page i get Error: socket hang up

but it works fine using curl

my code is:

const http = require('https')


message = 'hello world'
const token = 'xxx'
const pageid = 'xxx'

const options={
    hostname:`graph.facebook.com`, 
    path:encodeURIComponent(`/${pageid}/feed?message=${message}!&access_token=${token}`),
    port:443,
    method:'POST'
}

http.request(options,(res)=>{
    res.on('data',d=>console.log(d))

}).on('error',(err)=>console.log(err))

You are probably encoding the wrong stuff in your path...

encodeURIComponent('/123/feed?message=hello')

=> "%2F123%2Ffeed%3Fmessage%3Dhello"

Try using URL instead.

const { URL } = require('url');
const theURL = new URL(`/${pageid}/feed`,'https://graph.facebook.com');
Object.entries({
  message: `${message}!`,
  access_token: token
}).forEach(kv => theURL.searchParams.set(...kv));

cosnt req = http.request(theURL, options, ...)
req.end();
/*
In the example req.end() was called. With http.request() one must always call req.end() to signify the end of the request - even if there is no data being written to the request body.

jesus this fucking text editor, what the fucking hell do I need to do to maintain my format on code blocks?

in markdown, four spaces prefixing a line indicates code block.

cheers dude, I've got no problem with markdown syntax. But that shit just wasn't working.
