<p><strong>Source Code:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v22.14.0/lib/http.js">lib/http.js</a></p>
<p>This module, containing both a client and server, can be imported via
<code>require('node:http')</code> (CommonJS) or <code>import * as http from 'node:http'</code> (ES module).</p>
<p>The HTTP interfaces in Node.js are designed to support many features
of the protocol which have been traditionally difficult to use.
In particular, large, possibly chunk-encoded, messages. The interface is
careful to never buffer entire requests or responses, so the
user is able to stream data.</p>
<p>HTTP message headers are represented by an object like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json"><span class="hljs-punctuation">{</span> <span class="hljs-attr">"content-length"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">:</span> <span class="hljs-string">"123"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">,</span>
<span class="hljs-attr">"content-type"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">:</span> <span class="hljs-string">"text/plain"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">,</span>
<span class="hljs-attr">"connection"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">:</span> <span class="hljs-string">"keep-alive"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">,</span>

<span class="hljs-attr">"accept"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">:</span> <span class="hljs-string">"*/*"</span> <span class="hljs-punctuation">}</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>Keys are lowercased. Values are not modified.</p>
<p>In order to support the full spectrum of possible HTTP applications, the Node.js
HTTP API is very low-level. It deals with stream handling and message
parsing only. It parses a message into headers and body but it does not
parse the actual headers or the body.</p>
<p>See <a href="#messageheaders"><code>message.headers</code></a> for details on how duplicate headers are handled.</p>
<p>The raw headers as they were received are retained in the <code>rawHeaders</code>
property, which is an array of <code>[key, value, key2, value2, ...]</code>. For
example, the previous message header object might have a <code>rawHeaders</code>
list like the following:</p>
<!-- eslint-disable @stylistic/js/semi -->

<div class="api_metadata">
<span>Added in: v0.3.4</span>
</div>
<p>An <code>Agent</code> is responsible for managing connection persistence
and reuse for HTTP clients. It maintains a queue of pending requests
for a given host and port, reusing a single socket connection for each
until the queue is empty, at which time the socket is either destroyed
or put into a pool where it is kept to be used again for requests to the
same host and port. Whether it is destroyed or pooled depends on the
<code>keepAlive</code> <a href="#new-agentoptions">option</a>.</p>
<p>Pooled connections have TCP Keep-Alive enabled for them, but servers may
still close idle connections, in which case they will be removed from the
pool and a new connection will be made when a new HTTP request is made for
that host and port. Servers may also refuse to allow multiple requests
over the same connection, in which case the connection will have to be
remade for every request and cannot be pooled. The <code>Agent</code> will still make
the requests to that server, but each one will occur over a new connection.</p>
<p>When a connection is closed by the client or the server, it is removed
from the pool. Any unused sockets in the pool will be unrefed so as not
to keep the Node.js process running when there are no outstanding requests.
(see <a href="net.html#socketunref"><code>socket.unref()</code></a>).</p>
<p>It is good practice, to <a href="#agentdestroy"><code>destroy()</code></a> an <code>Agent</code> instance when it is no
longer in use, because unused sockets consume OS resources.</p>
<p>Sockets are removed from an agent when the socket emits either
a <code>'close'</code> event or an <code>'agentRemove'</code> event. When intending to keep one
HTTP request open for a long time without keeping it in the agent, something
like the following may be done:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">http.<span class="hljs-title function_">get</span>(options, <span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">res</span>) =></span> {
<span class="hljs-comment">// Do stuff</span>
}).<span class="hljs-title function_">on</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'socket'</span>, <span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">socket</span>) =></span> {
socket.<span class="hljs-title function_">emit</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'agentRemove'</span>);
});</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>An agent may also be used for an individual request. By providing
<code>{agent: false}</code> as an option to the <code>http.get()</code> or <code>http.request()</code>
functions, a one-time use <code>Agent</code> with default options will be used
for the client connection.</p>
<p><code>agent:false</code>:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>options</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object" class="type"><Object></a> Set of configurable options to set on the agent.
Can have the following fields:
<ul>
<li><code>keepAlive</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Boolean_type" class="type"><boolean></a> Keep sockets around even when there are no
outstanding requests, so they can be used for future requests without
having to reestablish a TCP connection. Not to be confused with the
<code>keep-alive</code> value of the <code>Connection</code> header. The <code>Connection: keep-alive</code>
header is always sent when using an agent except when the <code>Connection</code>
header is explicitly specified or when the <code>keepAlive</code> and <code>maxSockets</code>
options are respectively set to <code>false</code> and <code>Infinity</code>, in which case
<code>Connection: close</code> will be used. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>false</code>.</li>
<li><code>keepAliveMsecs</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> When using the <code>keepAlive</code> option, specifies
the <a href="net.html#socketsetkeepaliveenable-initialdelay">initial delay</a>
for TCP Keep-Alive packets. Ignored when the
<code>keepAlive</code> option is <code>false</code> or <code>undefined</code>. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>1000</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxSockets</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Maximum number of sockets to allow per host.
If the same host opens multiple concurrent connections, each request
will use new socket until the <code>maxSockets</code> value is reached.
If the host attempts to open more connections than <code>maxSockets</code>,
the additional requests will enter into a pending request queue, and
will enter active connection state when an existing connection terminates.
This makes sure there are at most <code>maxSockets</code> active connections at
any point in time, from a given host.
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>Infinity</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxTotalSockets</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Maximum number of sockets allowed for
all hosts in total. Each request will use a new socket
until the maximum is reached.
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>Infinity</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxFreeSockets</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Maximum number of sockets per host to leave open
in a free state. Only relevant if <code>keepAlive</code> is set to <code>true</code>.
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>256</code>.</li>
<li><code>scheduling</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type"><string></a> Scheduling strategy to apply when picking
the next free socket to use. It can be <code>'fifo'</code> or <code>'lifo'</code>.
The main difference between the two scheduling strategies is that <code>'lifo'</code>
selects the most recently used socket, while <code>'fifo'</code> selects
the least recently used socket.
In case of a low rate of request per second, the <code>'lifo'</code> scheduling
will lower the risk of picking a socket that might have been closed
by the server due to inactivity.
In case of a high rate of request per second,
the <code>'fifo'</code> scheduling will maximize the number of open sockets,
while the <code>'lifo'</code> scheduling will keep it as low as possible.
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>'lifo'</code>.</li>
<li><code>timeout</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Socket timeout in milliseconds.
This will set the timeout when the socket is created.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><code>options</code> in <a href="net.html#socketconnectoptions-connectlistener"><code>socket.connect()</code></a> are also supported.</p>
<p>To configure any of them, a custom <a href="#class-httpagent"><code>http.Agent</code></a> instance must be created.</p>

</ul>
<p>This object is created internally and returned from <a href="#httprequestoptions-callback"><code>http.request()</code></a>. It
represents an <em>in-progress</em> request whose header has already been queued. The
header is still mutable using the <a href="#requestsetheadername-value"><code>setHeader(name, value)</code></a>,
<a href="#requestgetheadername"><code>getHeader(name)</code></a>, <a href="#requestremoveheadername"><code>removeHeader(name)</code></a> API. The actual header will
be sent along with the first data chunk or when calling <a href="#requestenddata-encoding-callback"><code>request.end()</code></a>.</p>
<p>To get the response, add a listener for <a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> to the request object.
<a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> will be emitted from the request object when the response
headers have been received. The <a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> event is executed with one
argument which is an instance of <a href="#class-httpincomingmessage"><code>http.IncomingMessage</code></a>.</p>
<p>During the <a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> event, one can add listeners to the
response object; particularly to listen for the <code>'data'</code> event.</p>
<p>If no <a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> handler is added, then the response will be
entirely discarded. However, if a <a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> event handler is added,
then the data from the response object <strong>must</strong> be consumed, either by
calling <code>response.read()</code> whenever there is a <code>'readable'</code> event, or
by adding a <code>'data'</code> handler, or by calling the <code>.resume()</code> method.
Until the data is consumed, the <code>'end'</code> event will not fire. Also, until
the data is read it will consume memory that can eventually lead to a
'process out of memory' error.</p>
<p>For backward compatibility, <code>res</code> will only emit <code>'error'</code> if there is an
<code>'error'</code> listener registered.</p>
<p>Set <code>Content-Length</code> header to limit the response body size.
If <a href="#responsestrictcontentlength"><code>response.strictContentLength</code></a> is set to <code>true</code>, mismatching the
<code>Content-Length</code> header value will result in an <code>Error</code> being thrown,
identified by <code>code:</code> <a href="errors.html#err_http_content_length_mismatch"><code>'ERR_HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH'</code></a>.</p>
<p><code>Content-Length</code> value should be in bytes, not characters. Use
<a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferbytelengthstring-encoding"><code>Buffer.byteLength()</code></a> to determine the length of the body in bytes.</p>

<p>Sends a chunk of the body. This method can be called multiple times. If no
<code>Content-Length</code> is set, data will automatically be encoded in HTTP Chunked
transfer encoding, so that server knows when the data ends. The
<code>Transfer-Encoding: chunked</code> header is added. Calling <a href="#requestenddata-encoding-callback"><code>request.end()</code></a>
is necessary to finish sending the request.</p>
<p>The <code>encoding</code> argument is optional and only applies when <code>chunk</code> is a string.
Defaults to <code>'utf8'</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> argument is optional and will be called when this chunk of data
is flushed, but only if the chunk is non-empty.</p>
<p>Returns <code>true</code> if the entire data was flushed successfully to the kernel
buffer. Returns <code>false</code> if all or part of the data was queued in user memory.
<code>'drain'</code> will be emitted when the buffer is free again.</p>
<p>When <code>write</code> function is called with empty string or buffer, it does
nothing and waits for more input.</p>

</ul>
<p>If a client connection emits an <code>'error'</code> event, it will be forwarded here.
Listener of this event is responsible for closing/destroying the underlying
socket. For example, one may wish to more gracefully close the socket with a
custom HTTP response instead of abruptly severing the connection. The socket
<strong>must be closed or destroyed</strong> before the listener ends.</p>
<p>This event is guaranteed to be passed an instance of the <a href="net.html#class-netsocket" class="type"><net.Socket></a> class,
a subclass of <a href="stream.html#class-streamduplex" class="type"><stream.Duplex></a>, unless the user specifies a socket
type other than <a href="net.html#class-netsocket" class="type"><net.Socket></a>.</p>
<p>Default behavior is to try close the socket with a HTTP '400 Bad Request',
or a HTTP '431 Request Header Fields Too Large' in the case of a
<a href="errors.html#hpe_header_overflow"><code>HPE_HEADER_OVERFLOW</code></a> error. If the socket is not writable or headers
of the current attached <a href="#class-httpserverresponse"><code>http.ServerResponse</code></a> has been sent, it is
immediately destroyed.</p>

<p>When the <code>'clientError'</code> event occurs, there is no <code>request</code> or <code>response</code>
object, so any HTTP response sent, including response headers and payload,
<em>must</em> be written directly to the <code>socket</code> object. Care must be taken to
ensure the response is a properly formatted HTTP response message.</p>
<p><code>err</code> is an instance of <code>Error</code> with two extra columns:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>bytesParsed</code>: the bytes count of request packet that Node.js may have parsed
correctly;</li>
<li><code>rawPacket</code>: the raw packet of current request.</li>
</ul>
<p>In some cases, the client has already received the response and/or the socket
has already been destroyed, like in case of <code>ECONNRESET</code> errors. Before
trying to send data to the socket, it is better to check that it is still
writable.</p>

<p>This event is emitted when a new TCP stream is established. <code>socket</code> is
typically an object of type <a href="net.html#class-netsocket"><code>net.Socket</code></a>. Usually users will not want to

also be accessed at <code>request.socket</code>.</p>

</ul>
<p>The number of milliseconds of inactivity a server needs to wait for additional
incoming data, after it has finished writing the last response, before a socket
will be destroyed. If the server receives new data before the keep-alive
timeout has fired, it will reset the regular inactivity timeout, i.e.,
<a href="#servertimeout"><code>server.timeout</code></a>.</p>
<p>A value of <code>0</code> will disable the keep-alive timeout behavior on incoming
connections.
A value of <code>0</code> makes the http server behave similarly to Node.js versions prior
to 8.0.0, which did not have a keep-alive timeout.</p>
<p>The socket timeout logic is set up on connection, so changing this value only
affects new connections to the server, not any existing connections.</p>

<p>If this method is called and <a href="#responsewriteheadstatuscode-statusmessage-headers"><code>response.writeHead()</code></a> has not been called,
it will switch to implicit header mode and flush the implicit headers.</p>
<p>This sends a chunk of the response body. This method may
be called multiple times to provide successive parts of the body.</p>
<p>If <code>rejectNonStandardBodyWrites</code> is set to true in <code>createServer</code>
then writing to the body is not allowed when the request method or response
status do not support content. If an attempt is made to write to the body for a
HEAD request or as part of a <code>204</code> or <code>304</code>response, a synchronous <code>Error</code>
with the code <code>ERR_HTTP_BODY_NOT_ALLOWED</code> is thrown.</p>
<p><code>chunk</code> can be a string or a buffer. If <code>chunk</code> is a string,
the second parameter specifies how to encode it into a byte stream.
<code>callback</code> will be called when this chunk of data is flushed.</p>
<p>This is the raw HTTP body and has nothing to do with higher-level multi-part
body encodings that may be used.</p>
<p>The first time <a href="#responsewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>response.write()</code></a> is called, it will send the buffered
header information and the first chunk of the body to the client. The second
time <a href="#responsewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>response.write()</code></a> is called, Node.js assumes data will be streamed,
and sends the new data separately. That is, the response is buffered up to the
first chunk of the body.</p>
<p>Returns <code>true</code> if the entire data was flushed successfully to the kernel
buffer. Returns <code>false</code> if all or part of the data was queued in user memory.
<code>'drain'</code> will be emitted when the buffer is free again.</p>

Optionally one can give a human-readable <code>statusMessage</code> as the second

<p>Duplicates in raw headers are handled in the following ways, depending on the

<ul>
<li>Duplicates of <code>age</code>, <code>authorization</code>, <code>content-length</code>, <code>content-type</code>,
<code>etag</code>, <code>expires</code>, <code>from</code>, <code>host</code>, <code>if-modified-since</code>, <code>if-unmodified-since</code>,
<code>last-modified</code>, <code>location</code>, <code>max-forwards</code>, <code>proxy-authorization</code>, <code>referer</code>,
<code>retry-after</code>, <code>server</code>, or <code>user-agent</code> are discarded.
To allow duplicate values of the headers listed above to be joined,
use the option <code>joinDuplicateHeaders</code> in <a href="#httprequestoptions-callback"><code>http.request()</code></a>
and <a href="#httpcreateserveroptions-requestlistener"><code>http.createServer()</code></a>. See RFC 9110 Section 5.3 for more
information.</li>
<li><code>set-cookie</code> is always an array. Duplicates are added to the array.</li>
<li>For duplicate <code>cookie</code> headers, the values are joined together with <code>; </code>.</li>
<li>For all other headers, the values are joined together with <code>, </code>.</li>

<p>Flushes the message headers.</p>
<p>For efficiency reason, Node.js normally buffers the message headers
until <code>outgoingMessage.end()</code> is called or the first chunk of message data
is written. It then tries to pack the headers and data into a single TCP
packet.</p>
<p>It is usually desired (it saves a TCP round-trip), but not when the first
data is not sent until possibly much later. <code>outgoingMessage.flushHeaders()</code>
bypasses the optimization and kickstarts the message.</p>

<li>Returns: <a href="http.html#class-httpclientrequest" class="type"><http.ClientRequest></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Since most requests are GET requests without bodies, Node.js provides this
convenience method. The only difference between this method and
<a href="#httprequestoptions-callback"><code>http.request()</code></a> is that it sets the method to GET by default and calls <code>req.end()</code>
automatically. The callback must take care to consume the response
data for reasons stated in <a href="#class-httpclientrequest"><code>http.ClientRequest</code></a> section.</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> is invoked with a single argument that is an instance of
<a href="#class-httpincomingmessage"><code>http.IncomingMessage</code></a>.</p>

<p><code>options</code> in <a href="net.html#socketconnectoptions-connectlistener"><code>socket.connect()</code></a> are also supported.</p>
<p>Node.js maintains several connections per server to make HTTP requests.
This function allows one to transparently issue requests.</p>
<p><code>url</code> can be a string or a <a href="url.html#the-whatwg-url-api"><code>URL</code></a> object. If <code>url</code> is a
string, it is automatically parsed with <a href="url.html#new-urlinput-base"><code>new URL()</code></a>. If it is a <a href="url.html#the-whatwg-url-api"><code>URL</code></a>
object, it will be automatically converted to an ordinary <code>options</code> object.</p>
<p>If both <code>url</code> and <code>options</code> are specified, the objects are merged, with the
<code>options</code> properties taking precedence.</p>
<p>The optional <code>callback</code> parameter will be added as a one-time listener for
the <a href="#event-response"><code>'response'</code></a> event.</p>
<p><code>http.request()</code> returns an instance of the <a href="#class-httpclientrequest"><code>http.ClientRequest</code></a>
class. The <code>ClientRequest</code> instance is a writable stream. If one needs to
upload a file with a POST request, then write to the <code>ClientRequest</code> object.</p>

<span class="hljs-comment">// Write data to request body</span>

req.<span class="hljs-title function_">end</span>();</code><button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>In the example <code>req.end()</code> was called. With <code>http.request()</code> one
must always call <code>req.end()</code> to signify the end of the request -
even if there is no data being written to the request body.</p>
<p>If any error is encountered during the request (be that with DNS resolution,
TCP level errors, or actual HTTP parse errors) an <code>'error'</code> event is emitted
on the returned request object. As with all <code>'error'</code> events, if no listeners
are registered the error will be thrown.</p>
<p>There are a few special headers that should be noted.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Sending a 'Connection: keep-alive' will notify Node.js that the connection to
the server should be persisted until the next request.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Sending a 'Content-Length' header will disable the default chunked encoding.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Sending an 'Expect' header will immediately send the request headers.
Usually, when sending 'Expect: 100-continue', both a timeout and a listener
for the <code>'continue'</code> event should be set. See RFC 2616 Section 8.2.3 for more
information.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Sending an Authorization header will override using the <code>auth</code> option
to compute basic authentication.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Example using a <a href="url.html#the-whatwg-url-api"><code>URL</code></a> as <code>options</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> options = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> <span class="hljs-title function_">URL</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'http://abc:xyz@example.com'</span>);

<p>In a successful request, the following events will be emitted in the following
order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li><code>'response'</code>
<ul>
<li><code>'data'</code> any number of times, on the <code>res</code> object
(<code>'data'</code> will not be emitted at all if the response body is empty, for
instance, in most redirects)</li>
<li><code>'end'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>In the case of a connection error, the following events will be emitted:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li><code>'error'</code></li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>In the case of a premature connection close before the response is received,
the following events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li><code>'error'</code> with an error with message <code>'Error: socket hang up'</code> and code
<code>'ECONNRESET'</code></li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>In the case of a premature connection close after the response is received,
the following events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li><code>'response'</code>
<ul>
<li><code>'data'</code> any number of times, on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>(connection closed here)</li>
<li><code>'aborted'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
<li><code>'error'</code> on the <code>res</code> object with an error with message
<code>'Error: aborted'</code> and code <code>'ECONNRESET'</code></li>
<li><code>'close'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>req.destroy()</code> is called before a socket is assigned, the following
events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li>(<code>req.destroy()</code> called here)</li>
<li><code>'error'</code> with an error with message <code>'Error: socket hang up'</code> and code
<code>'ECONNRESET'</code>, or the error with which <code>req.destroy()</code> was called</li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>req.destroy()</code> is called before the connection succeeds, the following
events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li>(<code>req.destroy()</code> called here)</li>
<li><code>'error'</code> with an error with message <code>'Error: socket hang up'</code> and code
<code>'ECONNRESET'</code>, or the error with which <code>req.destroy()</code> was called</li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>req.destroy()</code> is called after the response is received, the following
events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li><code>'response'</code>
<ul>
<li><code>'data'</code> any number of times, on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>(<code>req.destroy()</code> called here)</li>
<li><code>'aborted'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
<li><code>'error'</code> on the <code>res</code> object with an error with message <code>'Error: aborted'</code>
and code <code>'ECONNRESET'</code>, or the error with which <code>req.destroy()</code> was called</li>
<li><code>'close'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>req.abort()</code> is called before a socket is assigned, the following
events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li>(<code>req.abort()</code> called here)</li>
<li><code>'abort'</code></li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>req.abort()</code> is called before the connection succeeds, the following
events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li>(<code>req.abort()</code> called here)</li>
<li><code>'abort'</code></li>
<li><code>'error'</code> with an error with message <code>'Error: socket hang up'</code> and code
<code>'ECONNRESET'</code></li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>req.abort()</code> is called after the response is received, the following
events will be emitted in the following order:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>'socket'</code></li>
<li><code>'response'</code>
<ul>
<li><code>'data'</code> any number of times, on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>(<code>req.abort()</code> called here)</li>
<li><code>'abort'</code></li>
<li><code>'aborted'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
<li><code>'error'</code> on the <code>res</code> object with an error with message
<code>'Error: aborted'</code> and code <code>'ECONNRESET'</code>.</li>
<li><code>'close'</code></li>
<li><code>'close'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>
</ul>
<p>Setting the <code>timeout</code> option or using the <code>setTimeout()</code> function will
not abort the request or do anything besides add a <code>'timeout'</code> event.</p>
<p>Passing an <code>AbortSignal</code> and then calling <code>abort()</code> on the corresponding
<code>AbortController</code> will behave the same way as calling <code>.destroy()</code> on the
request. Specifically, the <code>'error'</code> event will be emitted with an error with
the message <code>'AbortError: The operation was aborted'</code>, the code <code>'ABORT_ERR'</code>
and the <code>cause</code>, if one was provided.</p>
