Socket hang up on GET request with Auth header JWT

Hey, i’m getting an error with a fairly simple GET request:

Error:  { Error: socket hang up
    at createHangUpError (_http_client.js:253:15)
    at Socket.socketOnEnd (_http_client.js:345:23)
    at emitNone (events.js:91:20)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:185:7)
    at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:974:12)
    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11)
    at process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:122:9) code: 'ECONNRESET', response: undefined }

Any tips on how to resolve this? Do I need to config some socket things or something? I don’t understand if this is an issue with my code or perhaps some dependancy conflict. Everything i’ve tried doesn’t work 😦

Here is the test:

import superagent from 'superagent';
var request = superagent;

...

const USER_JWT_VALID = 'JWT asdf.....';

it('should work', (done) => {
  request
    .get('http://localhost:3000/api/something/private')
    .set('Accept', 'application/json')
    .set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + USER_JWT_VALID)
    .end((err, res) => {
      console.log('Error: ', err);
      if (err) done(err);
      expect(res.body).to.be.an('object');
    });
});

my related packages:

"express": "^4.14.0",
"superagent": "^3.3.1",
"mocha": "^3.2.0",

node v7.3.0.

Socket hang up means the server closed the connection, which could be caused either by a hard crash of the server or a serious syntax error in the request.

So you see any errors on server side? Is it possible that you have some non-ASCII characters or unexpected newlines in your headers?

Try running nc -l 3000 instead of your server and see what superagent sends.

Sorry guys - this is nothing to do with superagent. This seems to be a bug with passport-jwt (auth GET requests are not getting past passport auth) Thanks all the same! 😃
