IncomingMessage
implements the Readable Stream interface and is therefore an EventEmitter.

error
Error - Typically holds an error string identifying failure root cause.
Emitted when an error was encountered while streaming response data events. For instance, if the server closes the underlying while the response is still streaming, an error
event will be emitted on the response object and a close
event will subsequently follow on the request object.
An IncomingMessage
instance has the following readable properties:
response.statusCode
An Integer
indicating the HTTP response status code.
response.statusMessage
A String
representing the HTTP status message.
response.headers
An Object
representing the response HTTP headers. The headers
object is formatted as follows:
response.httpVersion
A String
indicating the HTTP protocol version number. Typical values are ‘1.0’ or ‘1.1’. Additionally httpVersionMajor
and httpVersionMinor
are two Integer-valued readable properties that return respectively the HTTP major and minor version numbers.
response.httpVersionMajor
An Integer
indicating the HTTP protocol major version number.
