Test case

Hello. Thank you for read me.

I have the following case: I’m trying to do an http GET request from firebase function, this is my code: (I’m using a test API from “jsonplaceholder” just to get Random Data and then test my real functionality.)

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

exports.myFunction= functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
     var options = {
          host: 'jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
          path: '/posts/1',
     };

    var req = http.get(options, function(res) {
    console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
    console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));

    // Buffer the body entirely for processing as a whole.
    var bodyChunks = [];
    res.on('data', function(chunk) {
        bodyChunks.push(chunk);
    }).on('end', function() {
        var body = Buffer.concat(bodyChunks);
        console.log('BODY: ' + body);
        })
    });

    req.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log('ERROR: ' + e.message);
    });

    response.send("Hello from Firebase!"); //just to send something in response.
 }

Steps to reproduce

When I test that function in my LOCAL environment on a test case using node index.js, everything works just fine!

Were you able to successfully deploy your functions?

When I do firebase deploy everything deploys just fine, the function is uploaded to my function dashboard.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that the log printing the body returns something like:

STATUS: 200
BODY: {
  "userId": 1,
  "id": 1,
  "title": "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",
  "body": "quia et suscipit\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\nreprehenderit molestiae 
    ut ut quas totam\nnostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto"
}

Actual behavior

The actual behavior is this:

ERROR: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com:443

Thats what’s happening when I trigger the function on firebase, but in my local environment everything work ust fine… is that a bug?

Thank you very much!
