localhost didn't send any data - ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Using VScode to write NodeJS

But to check, localhost isn't responding properly, it says "the page didn't send any data. I tried looking everywhere and changed all the possible settings I can.

restored chrome settings cleared cache, cleared history, changed port numbers, changed LAN settings.

const Joi = require('joi');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use(express.json); //to take inputs ffrom the browser
const courses = [
{id: 1, name: "course 1"},
{id: 2, name: "course 2"},
{id: 3, name: "course 3"},
 ];

app.get('/', (req, res) =>{
res.send("Hello world!!");
res.end();
});

app.get('/api/courses/', (req, res) =>{
res.send(courses);
res.end();
});

const port = process.env.port || 8080;
app.listen(port, ()=> console.log(`Listining on port ${port}..`));

I had the same problem and surprisingly running this command in cmd/powershell/windows terminal to turn off WSL worked.

wsl --shutdown

I had a similar problem which was caused by calling an https only api endpoint using http.

`package.json
"dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.19.0",
    "ejs": "^3.0.1",
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "mongoclient": "^1.0.3",
    "mongodb": "^2.2.33",
    "mongoose": "^5.8.12"
  }

app.js

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser=require('body-parser');
const app=express();

var db=require('./db')
var user=require('./module/user');

const port=process.env.PORT || 8080;
//to read the name property from html or ejs form or page body parser used there for.(tunnel)
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true}))
//app.use(bodyParser.json);`

you don't need to add app.use line in "body-parser": "^1.19.0" this version, this is run in my era.

Your courses is an object. You need to send it as string over wire. Send it as json and the browser will be able to parse it.

app.get('/api/courses/', (req, res) => {
  // change here, your object is stringified to json by express
  res.json(courses);
});

To take input from browser, you'd have to use packages like body-parser and not app.use(express.json)

var express = require('express')
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')

var app = express()

// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))

// parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json())
