"res.setTimeout is not a function" when running in browser with Browserify

[thomas-alrek]

I couldn't find an answer to this in the readme. Do anyone know if this module is compatible with Browserify? I am trying to make a webapp, using a module i have written (https://www.npmjs.com/package/vegvesen). It fails and throws the error

TypeError: res.setTimeout is not a function. (In 'res.setTimeout(config.timeout, function(){
    clientRequest.emit('responseTimeout',res);
    res.close();
})', 'res.setTimeout' is undefined)

In my module I am doing the following call:

var args = {
    headers: { 
        "Accept": "application/vnd.vegvesen.nvdb-v1+json", 
        "Content-Type": "application/vnd.vegvesen.nvdb-v1+json; charset=utf-8"
    },
    requestConfig: {
        timeout: 1000,
        noDelay: true,
        keepAlive: true
    },
    responseConfig: {
        timeout: 1000 //response timeout 
    }
};

client.get("https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api/", args, function(data, response){
    /*stuff*/
});

It works perfectly fine when running via node, this error only occurs in the browser, through Browserify.

I am not using Browserify, but I'm having the same issue: Uncaught TypeError: req.setTimeout is not a function in the browser when using node-rest-client. Could really use a resolution as this is preventing me from even basic usage of this package.

I am just writing to bump this up. I have still not managed to solve this issue. I believe the error is caused by the "http" / "https" module used in the "protocol" module inside of node-rest-client.

Browserify claims that it is replacing calls to these native modules with browser comaptible versions.

Could we get some insight from some of the developers of this module?
