Nodejs: response.write() for https.request? - node.js

Question

Hi I am trying to make an https.request to an API server. I can receive the chunk and print it in the console. How can I write it directly into html and show it in the browser?
I tried to look for the equivalent of response.write() of http.request but didn't find one. res.write(chunk) will give me a TypeError. How can I do this?
var req = https.request(options_places, function(res){
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function(chunk){
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk); // Console can show chunk data
res.write(chunk); // This gives TypeError: Object #<IncomingMessage> has no method 'write'
});
});
req.end();
req.on('error', function(e){
console.log('ERROR?: ' + e.message );
});

Answer 1

First you have to create server and listen on some port for the requests.
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
response.end('Whatever you wish to send \n');
}).listen(3000); // any free port no.
console.log('Server started');
Now it listens incoming connections at 127.0.0.1:3000
For specific url use .listen(3000,'your url') instead of listen(3000)

This works for me.
app.get('/',function(req, res){ // Browser's GET request
var options = {
hostname: 'foo',
path: 'bar',
method: 'GET'
};
var clientRequest = https.request(options, function(clientResponse){
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
clientResponse.setEncoding('utf8');
clientResponse.on('data', function(chunk){
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
res.write(chunk); // This respond to browser's GET request and write the data into html.
});
});
clientRequest.end();
clientRequest.on('error', function(e){
console.log('ERROR: ' + e.message );
});
});
