  • Version: 0.10.36
  • Platform: Mac OS X
  • Subsystem: http

While it's possible to say incomingMessage instanceof stream.Readable, it's not possible to say serverResponse instanceof stream.Writable, where incomingMessage is an instance of IncomingMessage and serverResponse is an instance of ServerResponse.

The documentation claims:

Class: http.ServerResponse#
...
The response implements the Writable Stream interface.

This is not accurate, since it just inherits from Stream, not Stream.Writable.

implementing the interface is a bit different than inheriting from. The documentation could likely be a bit clearer on this point.

The response implements the Writable Stream interface (but does not inherit from it).
