How to post to facebook serverside with Node.js - facebook

Question

As per the question title, I am trying to post to facebook serverside with node.js
Unfortunately there is something wrong with how I am doing it...
I am getting the error
{ [Error: socket hang up] code: 'ECONNRESET' }
app.post('/post/:id?', function(req, res)
{
var id = req.route.params.id;
var token = tokens[id].token;
var path = '/' + id + '/feed?access_token=' + token;
var message = "server side post to facebook";
console.log("post.id = " + req.route.params.id);
var jsonobject = JSON.stringify(
{
'message' : message
});
var options = {
host: 'graph.facebook.com',
port: 443,
path: path,
method: 'post',
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json',
'content-length': jsonobject.length()
}
};
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
console.log("statuscode: ", res.statuscode);
console.log("headers: ", res.headers);
res.setencoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function(d) {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
res.on('end', function(){ // see http nodejs documentation to see end
console.log("finished posting message");
});
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.error(e);
});
req.write(jsonobject);
req.end();
});

I am not sure exactly what I did, but after lots of hacking it seems to work...
So for anyone who is interested:
app.post('/post/:id?', function(req, res)
{
var id = req.route.params.id;
var token = tokens[id].token;
var path = '/' + id + '/feed?access_token=' + token;
var strToPost = "server side post to facebook";
console.log("post.id = " + req.route.params.id);
var post_data = querystring.stringify({
'message' : 'testing server side post'
});
var options = {
host: 'graph.facebook.com',
port: 443,
path: path,
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length' : post_data.length
}
};
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
console.log("statuscode: ", res.statuscode);
console.log("headers: ", res.headers);
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function(d) {
console.log("res.on data");
process.stdout.write(d);
});
res.on('end', function(){ // see http nodejs documentation to see end
console.log("\nfinished posting message");
});
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log("\nProblem with facebook post request");
console.error(e);
});
req.write(post_data);
req.end();
});
