Node JS: In POST call, the HOST NAME not accepting the 'http://'

I am trying to make an POST call in node JS using the HEADERS, BODY. While i tried in Chrome "Advanced Rest Client" posted the URL with Request Headers, Body etc and i got the response message as 200 OK.

but the same request i tried in node js as given below

http.request({
     host: "http://somesite.com",
     path: "/path/name/",
     port: 80
     method: "POST"
     ...
})

when i run it, i get the following error

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND http://somesite.com http://somesite.com:80
at errnoException (dns.js:27:10)
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:78:26)

can anyone solve my issue.

The host value is to be the host name only (the value is resolved by the DNS client and used in the Host: HTTP header). In your case this would just be: host: "somesite.com"
