I'm trying to get json from the NBA api site and it needs certain headers:


wget -d -O - --header="Host: stats.nba.com" \
			--header="Connection: keep-alive" \
			--header="Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \
			--header='User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36' \
			--header="Origin: https://www.nba.com" \
			--header="Referer: https://www.nba.com/" \
			--header="Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5" \
			--header="Sec-Fetch-Dest: empty" \
			--header="Sec-Fetch-Mode: cors" \
			--header="Sec-Fetch-Site: same-site" \
			--header="Sec-GPC: 1" \
			--header="Accept-Encoding: identity" \
			 "https://stats.nba.com/stats/leaguestandingsv3?LeagueID=00&Season=2023-24&SeasonType=Regular+Season&SeasonYear="


This works fine. sends me back some json.

Now if I try to do the same thing in JS


'use strict';

load('http.js');
load('url.js');


function getdata(endpoint,baseurl,headers) {
    var req = new HTTPRequest();
    req.AddExtraHeaders(headers);
    req.follow_redirects = 3;
    var contents = req.Get(endpoint+baseurl);
    writeln("Contents " + contents);
}

var endpoint = 'https://stats.nba.com';
var baseurl = '/stats/leaguestandingsv3?LeagueID=00&Season=2023-24&SeasonType=Regular+Season&SeasonYear=';

var headers = {"Host": "stats.nba.com", "Connection": "keep-alive", "Accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*", "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36", "Origin": "https://www.nba.com", "Referer": "https://www.nba.com/", "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5", "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty", "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors", "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-site", "Sec-GPC": 1, "Accept-Encoding": "identity"};

getdata(endpoint,baseurl,headers);


It's just hanging at the req.Get and eventually times out.


writeln("Response Code: " + req.response_code);
