Node.js Net.Socket() to connect to net.tcp web service - node.js

Question

So I have a web service running on port 7001 over TCP on:
net.tcp://www.myurl.com:7001/my/webservice
and I want to connect to it using net.Socket:
client.connect(7001, 'myurl.mine.com/my/webservice', function () {
console.log('Connected');
client.write(msg);
});
When i do the above, it gives an exception:
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND <<my url>>
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onLookup [as oncomplete]
when i try connect to it without the /my/webservice, it connects fine and doesnt give an error at the client.connect() stage, but obviously cant find that endpoint so it gives another error when i try to do the client.write()
Any one any idea how to use net.Socket against a web service with a url that isnt just myurl.com:7001 but actually contains a route like myurl.com:7001/my/webservice?

According to node.js docs the version of the method you are using expects only a hostname for a second argument. You are providing hostname + path
In your case I would recommend using a more generalized version of net.connect which accepts an object with parameters. So your code will look something like this:
client.connect({
host: 'myurl.mine.com',
port: 7001,
path: '/my/webservice'
},
function () {
console.log('Connected');
client.write(msg);
}
);
