Prevent closing connection on bad request - node.js

Question

I have an express server.
I set socket.setKeepAlive(true, 60000); in order to maintain persistent connection for at least 1min.
Here is the code:
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var server = app.listen(8080);
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.write("Hello Riko");
});
// server.listen(3000);
server.on("connection", function(socket) {
console.log("A new connection was made by a client.");
socket.setKeepAlive(true, 60000);
socket.on("data", data => {
console.log(data);
});
// 30 second timeout. Change this as you see fit.
});
When the client send invalid request, it receives 400 Bad Request
How to prevent connection close on invalid request?

Answer 1

Yes the suggestion i made in the comments works.
server.on('clientError',cb) prevents the default behavior of the stack.
I encountered one problem though. It registers event listener for error event every time clientError is fired. Therefore I changed the code litle bit and ended up with a solution that works for me:
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var server = app.listen(8080);
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello Riko");
});
onSocketError = err => {
console.log("Socket Error: " + err);
};
server.on("connection", function(socket) {
socket.on("data", data => {
console.log(data.toString());
});
console.log("A new connection was made by a client.");
});
server.on("clientError", (err, socket) => {
socket.removeAllListeners("error");
});
Hope this would help someone with similar problem.
