exceptions in request handler are ignored

[mranney]

Example from website, with error added:

var sys = require('sys'),
   http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  breakOnPurpose();
  setTimeout(function () {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Hello World\n');
  }, 2000);
}).listen(8000);
sys.puts('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/');

Output from server:

mjr:~$ node example.js 
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Output from client:
mjr:~$ curl localhost:8000
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

I did some more research on this:

• v0.1.90: exception is thrown
• v0.1.91: exception is thrown
• v0.1.92: exception is caught somewhere and treated as an error in http.js:555
• v0.1.93: exception is caught somewhere and treated as an error in http.js:555
• v0.1.94: exception is caught somewhere, silently
• v0.1.95: exception is caught somewhere, silently

This has been fixed in recent versions.
