ERROR: browsermob-proxy returned error

[lucaswxp]

Running the following example:

var Proxy = require('browsermob-proxy').Proxy
  , proxy = new Proxy()
  , fs = require('fs');

proxy.doHAR('http://yahoo.com', function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.error('ERROR: ' + err);
    } else {
        fs.writeFileSync('yahoo.com.har', data, 'utf8');
    }
});

I only get:
ERROR: browsermob-proxy returned error

No other info is given. I'm sure browsermob is running:

$ ./browsermob-proxy
Running BrowserMob Proxy using LittleProxy implementation. To revert to the legacy implementation, run the proxy with the command-line option '--use-littleproxy false'.

I am seeing the same Issue as @lucaswxp!

The only indication of an error I receive is:
ERROR: browsermob-proxy returned error

node v6.10.0

@rcave Hey there.

If it's any help, I'm using browsermob-proxy directly now: https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy

I just spin up the server, then specify the proxy address to my http client library. After you are done, you can request the har archive from the server.

@lucaswxp, Let me give that a shot.
