I'm having problems with /dev/stdin in node 0.7 - I can't open it as a file and I can't use it as an input source for spawned childs. Anyone knows about this, is it a bug or intended behavior?
For example the following is fine with node v0.6 but fails in node v0.7: fs.readFile("/dev/stdin", console.log); The result being: 1. If run as standalone program, after Ctrl+D: { [Error: UNKNOWN, read] errno: -1, code: 'UNKNOWN' } or 2. If spawned with child_process.spawn: { [Error: UNKNOWN, open '/dev/stdin'] errno: -1, code: 'UNKNOWN', path: '/dev/stdin' } I'm trying to use /dev/stdin as an input file with openssl certificate generation - instead of writing private keys etc. to the disk, I forward these by /dev/stdin, for example to create a CSR: openssl req -new -sha1 -key /dev/stdin -subj /CN=localhost Works fine with v0.6 but fails in v0.7 -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
