net Node.js Error: read ECONNRESET (on Windows) -

i attempting use net lib in node.js simple message passing. in example on nodejs.org provide following code basic echo server:

var net = require('net'); var server = net.createserver(function(c) { //'connection' listener   console.log('server connected');   c.on('end', function() {     console.log('server disconnected');   });   c.write('hello\r\n');   c.pipe(c); }); server.listen(8124, function() { //'listening' listener   console.log('server bound'); }); 

and client said server:

var net = require('net'); var client = net.connect({port: 8124},     function() { //'connect' listener   console.log('client connected');   client.write('world!\r\n'); }); client.on('data', function(data) {   console.log(data.tostring());   client.end(); }); client.on('end', function() {   console.log('client disconnected'); }); 

the example above works, however, if remove client.end(); client code , force close script on client end (simulating client crashing) server crashes error:

error: read econnreset     @ errnoexception (net.js:904:11)     @ tcp.onread (net.js:558:19) 

i attempted catch error in server code c.on("error",function(){}) server.on('error', function (e) {}); in both cases server still crashes when client disconnects without using client.end()

what propper way of checking error server console.log('connection reset peer') instead of crashing?

update: tried same code on linux box , seems work fine ... why work in linux not in windows?

you can catch error adding code inside yours 'createserver' function:

process.on('uncaughtexception', function (err) {     console.error(err.stack);     console.log("node not exiting..."); });
