Hi I am writing the following code

var http=require('http')

var makerequest=function(message)
{
   var options= {host:'localhost', port:8080, path:'/',method:'POST'}
   var request=http.request(options,function(response)
  {
    response.on('data',function(data)
      {
          console.log(data);
      });
   });
   request.write(message);
   request.end();
}

exports=makerequest;

app.js :

var makerequest=require('./make_request.js');

makerequest("Here's looking at you, kid");

I am getting this error

TypeError: Object is not a function

require returns an object which references the value of module.exports for a given file. You should use module.exports instead of exports in your code instead.

You can find more information here on the differences between the two.
