Get request using http module for localhost/same host

i'm trying to send a request for my localhost, from my localhost like this:

  http.get
    host: 'localhost:3000'
    path: '/events'
  , (response) ->
    console.log response

This is causing this error:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND localhost:3000:80 localhost:3000:80:80
  at errnoException (dns.js:26:10)
  at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:77:26)

I can't figure it out why is happening and how to fixed. Can't i send requests for the same server?

Thanks.

localhost:3000 isn’t a host; it’s a host and a port. Pass them as separate properties.

http.get
  host: 'localhost'
  port: 3000
  path: '/events'
, (response) ->
  console.log response
