Getting error while using http in node.js

Question

Below is the error getting while calling http get request

events.js:66
throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: getaddrinfo ENOENT
at errnoException (dns.js:31:11)
at Object.onanswer [as oncomplete] (dns.js:123:16)

PFB my code throwing the error

var options = {
host: 'http://xyz.com',
port: 80,
path : 'test?query=' + escape(req.params.searchTerm) + '&offset=0&hits=500',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
Cookie : "session=" + session
}
};

console.log("Start");
var x = http.request(options,function(subRes){
console.log("Connected");
subRes.on('data',function(data){
console.log("===================data===" +util.inspect(data));
});
});

x.end();

Any ideas, why this error ?

ENOENT is an error that indications name resolution did not return any results. You specify the hostname as http://xyz.com, but colons are not allowed in hostnames. You want:

var options = {
    host: 'xyz.com',

You specify the host as http://xyz.com, which should just be xyz.com.

This value is used to resolve the IP address of the host you're trying to connect to using DNS.
