http over named pipe sample

httpoverpipe

var http = require('http');

var port = '\\\\.\\pipe\\nameofthepipe';

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  console.info('request received');
  res.end('gotyou');
}).listen(port);

console.info('listening on:', port);

var opt = {
	host: 'localhost',
	port: port,
	method: 'GET'
}

var req = http.request(opt, function(res) {
	console.info('STATUS:', res.statusCode);
	res.on('data', function(chunk) {
		console.info('BODY:', chunk.toString());
	});
});

req.on('error', function(e) {
	console.error('request failed:', e);
});

req.end();

On 0.6.19 the output:

listening on: \\.\pipe\nameofthepipe
request received
STATUS: 200
BODY: gotyou

on 0.8.0 the output:

listening on: \\.\pipe\nameofthepipe
request failed: { [Error: connect EADDRNOTAVAIL]
  code: 'EADDRNOTAVAIL',
  errno: 'EADDRNOTAVAIL',
  syscall: 'connect' }

so this no longer works with Node 4? If it did, it would be a life saver on Azure.
