Node.js Error: Max redirects exceeded - node.js

Question

how I can ignore pages with cycle redirects?
I use this code to fetching pages:
var libxml = require("libxmljs"),
http = require('follow-redirects').http,
url = require("url");
var request = http.request( { "host": host, "path": URL, "port": 80 }, function( response ) {
var str = '';
response.on( 'data', function( chunk ) {
str += chunk;
});
response.on( 'end', function() {
callback( str, response.statusCode );
}).on( 'error', function ( err ) {
console.log( err );
});
}).end();
It will not go to 'error' block, and I've got an exception:
events.js:85
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: Max redirects exceeded.

Answer 1

The error is being thrown by the request object, not the response object, so you need to add an (additional) error listener to request;
var request = http.request(...).on('error', function(err) {
...
}).end();

Answer 2

Looking at the docs for the package you are using (https://www.npmjs.com/package/follow-redirects), it looks like it just has a maxRedirects option. Directly from the linked page:
require('follow-redirects').maxRedirects = 10; // Has global affect (be careful!)
https.request({
host: 'bitly.com',
path: '/UHfDGO',
maxRedirects: 3 // per request setting
}, function (res) {/* ... */});
