I am making http requests to an external API that requires each request to have an ever increasing nonce value.
The problem I am experiencing is that even though the requests are submitted in order, they are not getting popped off the call stack in order (presumably). I am using the request library. A portion of my helper method looks like this:
Api.prototype.makeRequest = function(path, args, callback) {
var self = this;
var nonce = null;
var options = null;
// Create the key, signature, and nonce for API auth
nonce = (new Date()).getTime() * 1000;
args.key = self.key;
args.signature = ( ... build signature ... );
args.nonce = nonce;
options = {
url: path,
method: 'POST',
body: querystring.stringify(args)
};
request(options, function(err, resp, body) {
console.log('My nonce is: ' + args.nonce);
.
.
.
});
};
The console log results in a nonce order that is not ever increasing, but jumbled, even though each request are necessarily created in order (I tested this by placing the console log before the request call). How do I enforce a certain order? Why isn't it already doing this? Any understanding would be much appreciated.
