oauth requests will hang for https if connection type is "close" about node-oauth

[elsmorian]

How would I go about changing the connection type?

Change "close" to "keep-alive" on lines 28, and 46 in lib/oauth.js. Here's the fix: https://gist.github.com/1063403

I saw this same error. Spiceapps's fix worked for Google. Didn't test with any other provider.

Thanks, Spiceapps.

I am experiencing this as well trying to access Blogger's APIs. A proper bugfix release would be much appreciated! We'd rather not have to maintain a fork ourselves.

I don't actually think a patch is needed. It's a configurable setting when you create a new OAuth.
var oa = new OAuth { requestUrl,
accessUrl,
consumerKey,
consumerSecret,
version,
authorize_callback,
signatureMethod,
nonceSize,
{"Accept" : "/",
"Connection" : "keep-alive",
"User-Agent" : "Node authentication"});

Fwiw, you can configure around this as @danmactough says... also I believe it to be an issue with the current versions of node.js are you sure it isn't an example of : nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#728 ? (Closing for now.. will re-open it if required :) )

I was able to configure around Google not sending end() by passing { "Connection" : "keep-alive" } as the last argument to the OAuth client creation function-- using the Accept header as @danmactough posted resulted in an HTTP 406 when communicating with the Blogger endpoints.
