ENETUNREACH not handled for http.request in 7.10.0 #12841

@cyrus-and

Description

@cyrus-and
  • Version: 7.10.0
  • Platform: Linux
  • Subsystem: http

As the title says that error is not delivered via the returned event emitter, an exception is thrown instead. Other errors are properly handled, e.g., using {port: 0} which causes ECONNREFUSED. Also the net subsystem doesn't seem to be affected when I try with net.connect using the same options.

Here is the snippet to reproduce it:

const http = require('http');
const request = http.request({host: '255.255.255.255'});
request.on('error', console.error);

Incorrect behavior

$ nvm use 7.10.0
Now using node v7.10.0
$ node issue.js
events.js:163
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: connect ENETUNREACH 255.255.255.255:80 - Local (0.0.0.0:0)

Expected behavior

$ nvm use 7.9.0
Now using node v7.9.0
$ node issue.js
