Fixes #512
The solution runs a simple sanity check on the URL after all templating has been done and custom functions that may re-write the URL have been run. See the bug report for reasons why this specific error isn't caught by existing error-handling code.
Always passing the callback to
request.js
which is another possible solution has the drawback ofrequest.js
loading the entire response into memory (to provide as an argument to the callback function), which is problematic with many concurrent requests which return large response payloads.
