Access PhantomJS via WebDriver/JSONWireProtocol from node to receive the title of a webpage

getTitle.js

// before you launch this script, make sure you have phantomjs v1.8 installed
// and launch it with the port specified in the options: ´$ phantomjs --webdriver=3456´

var http = require('http');

// request body for "/wd/hub/session" request
var body = JSON.stringify({desiredCapabilities: {browserName: 'firefox', version: '', platform: 'ANY'}});

// base options for post requests
var options = {
    hostname: "localhost",
    port: 3456,
    path: "/wd/hub/session",
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Content-Length": body.length
    }
};

// create a new client request (get a fresh session)
var req = new http.ClientRequest(options);

// setup eventhandler that will be fired if we receive a response from the "/wd/hub/session" request
req.on('response', function (response) {
  if (response.statusCode === 303 || response.statusCode === 200)
  // distill the session id out of the response
  var sessionid = response.headers.location.replace('http://' + options.hostname + ':' + options.port + options.path + '/', '');

  // prepare body & options for the "/url" goto post request (here, goes to denkwerk.com)
  var body = JSON.stringify({url: 'http://denkwerk.com'});
  options.path = '/wd/hub/session/' + sessionid + '/url';
  options.headers['Content-Length'] = body.length;
  var req2 = new http.ClientRequest(options);

  // setup eventhandler that will be fired if we receive a response from the "/wd/hub/session/:sessionId/url" request
  req2.on('response', function (response) {
  	if (response.statusCode === 200) {

  		// make a get request to the webrdriver and grab the title of the webpage (denkwerk.com)
  		http.get('http://' + options.hostname + ':' + options.port + '/wd/hub/session/' + sessionid + '/title', function(response) {
		  var incoming = '';
		  if (response.statusCode == 200) {
		  	  response.on('data', function (chunk) { incoming += chunk; });
  			  response.on('end', function () { console.log('TITLE:', JSON.parse(incoming).value); });
		  }
		});

  	}
  });

  // fire "/wd/hub/session/:sessionId/url" request
  req2.end(body);
});

// "/wd/hub/session" request
req.end(body);
