SPLUNK 5.0.2 / Javascript SDK : Server Error 500 - Examples & Browsertests

Dear all,

this question is not answered in a sensefull way (for me).
So I try to do it once again. 🙂

Using Splunk 5.0.2 / Javascript SDK v1.1.0 on a windows system.
NodeJS is installed and working fine.
Definition (Port 8089 set correctly to the splunk instance & other credentials OK)
I've tested this via PHP SDK using curl - all fine.

When using the examples or the "tests.browser.html" (http://localhost:6969/tests/tests.browser.html) to check the connection, this fails with following error:

"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://localhost:6969/proxy/services/auth/login?output_mode=json"

I can browse "https://localhost:8089/services/" but with a certification warning - might this be a problem for NodeJS and the SSL-Connection?

I don't have any idea, what's wrong.
Any ideas, solutions, hint?

Best regards, Robert

Problem solved!

USING Version 0.8.9 (Stable) of NodeJS did it!!!

Is there any progress with that fix for Node 0.10.x? When can we expect an updated SDK? Thanks.

Great! Node.js 0.10 just came out and the change around SSL checking has made it incompatible with the Splunk JavaScript SDK. We are looking into fixing it but until then, use 0.8.x if possible.
