Node.js on Windows: slight change necessary

[rendalli]

I'm trying to use node.js on Windows and I couldn't run samplecode nor the very good looking module Algotrader made (Betfair for node.js).

At every https.request, it just gave me some exception saying it couldn't find the host (errnoException (dns.js:37:11)).

After alot of frustrating search, I figured that apparently on windows, you have to be precise about host and path:

{
hostname: 'api.betfair.com/exchange/betting',
           path: '/rest/v1.0/' + operationName + '/',
            method: 'POST',
           [.....]
}

doesn't work for me, but:

{
hostname: 'api.betfair.com',
           path: '[B]/exchange/betting/[/B]rest/v1.0/' + operationName + '/',
            method: 'POST',
           [.....]
}

seems to work.

API-NG is still evolving, I just have no time to keep it up. And I have no time to document the lib, it is very difficult to use it without doc and tutorial.

I am too busy with non-Betfair projects.
