node-nom's Issues

Cannot read property 'ok' of null

I setup a basic example and i'm getting this errorI, seems like its not returning a response so the property isn't available. It was complaining about my node version being too new which kind of made me feel like that's the culprit. It was saying wanted node 0.6.0, any ideas?
