I am trying to make a call within a firebase function to a locally managed server. I am not super familiar with node as a development environment so I am not sure what is the issue.

const functions = require('firebase-functions');

const https = require('http');

exports.testPost = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {

  var options = {

    host: 'localdevserver.edu',

    port: 80,

    path: '/my/endpoint'

  };

  let data = '';



  http.get(options, function(resp){

    resp.on('data', function(chunk){

      //do something with chunk

      data += chunk;

      resp.on('end', console.log("dones"));

    });

  }).on("error", function(e){

    console.log("Got error: " + e.message);

  });

});

When I look in the Firebase Functions Log, it says either timeout or no reject defined.

With HTTP type functions, you need to send a response to the client in order to terminate the function. Otherwise it will time out.

res.send("OK");

Please read the documentation for more details.

You can use SYNC-REQUEST

npm install sync-request

var request = require('sync-request');

var res = request('GET', 'http://google.com');

console.log(res.body.toString('utf-8'));

the function would be something like this:

exports.testPost = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {



    var request = require('sync-request');

    var res = request('GET', 'http://google.com');

    var res = res.body.toString('utf-8');



   resp.on(res, console.log("dones"));

});
