Just posting this here so other people might find it... If you're doing HTTP requests in Node, and the remote server responds with a Content-Length header, but then proceeds to send you content longer than that, your Node request will emit an error with code HPE_INVALID_CONSTANT. It's confusing because Node also emits this if the response doesn't start with "HTTP". Might be useful to make it two errors.
It's really hard to fix, and I did so with an ugly hack, which I won't document here because it's frickin ugly and mixed in with other fixes to badly formed http responses that I have to deal with. But hopefully this at least will serve as a search reference for when people are super confused by this error message.
