Hi, this error keeps poping when I try to proxy a POST request.

How can I fix this?

response.writeHead(proxy_response.statusCode, proxy_response.headers);
proxy_response.pipe(response);
proxy_response.on('end', function () {
    response.end(); // line 42, error raised here
});

can you provide a test script which demonstrates this problem?

I'm definitely seeing the same thing on our asset-proxy here at GitHub when we upgraded to 0.4.7 today. @jankuca did you have this working on any previous 0.4.x versions?

This is still happening with 0.4.8

http.js:697
  if (this.output.length === 0 && this.connection._httpMessage === this) {
                                                 ^

Yes this is still happening on our code as well with 0.4.8
Is there a work around?

Thanks a lot.

@ry, this error is still in 0.4.12 unfortunately.

We gave up and started coding around it.
