I just started trying out node.js a few days ago. I’ve realized that the Node is terminated whenever I have an unhandled exception in my program. This is different than the normal server container that I have been exposed to where only the Worker Thread dies when unhandled exceptions occur and the container would still be able to receive the request. This raises a few questions:
I installed nodejs on ubuntu from instructions given here
In the context of Server Side Javascript engines, what is non-blocking I/O or asynchronous I/O? I see this being mentioned as an advantage over Java server side implementations.
Are there any existing user authentication libraries for node.js? In particular I’m looking for something that can do password authentication for a user (using a custom backend auth DB), and associate that user with a session.
I’ve started tinkering with Node.js HTTP server and really like to write server side Javascript but something is keeping me from starting to use Node.js for my web application.
I have a pet project that is an online game, the entire game engine is written in C# and I would like to know if there is anyway I can call the functions of this existing assembly (.dll) from a solution built using Node.JS, Socket.IO, Express etc?

Any idea how one would go about preventing XSS attacks on a node.js app? Any libs out there that handle removing javascript in hrefs, onclick attributes,etc. from POSTed data?
I’m trying to find the best way to create async calls when each call depends on the prior call to have completed. At the moment I’m chaining the methods by recursively calling a defined process function as illustrated below.
I’m making a game, and I’ve come across a problem… When I try to save, JSON fails and reports that circular reference is being made somewhere. I don’t think it actually is, I can’t see it, so is there an algorithm or anything which could tell me where it is exactly (between which objects and stuff)? Also, is there a JSON alternative that can save circular reference? I’m running a node.js server, I saw this, but I can’t get it to work (it’s not made as a module i can require() in my code).
