How to abort a chunked connection

@Robin thanks for your response. Unfortunately I have no control over the API and like I said it keeps sending chunked data and never stops doing it. Based on your hint I rewrote my code using tls and plain HTTP like so:

var socket = require('tls').connect(opts, function() {
  socket.write('GET /somemethod  HTTP/1.1\r\n' +
             'host: someapi.com\r\n' +
              '\r\n');
});

socket.on('data', function(chunk) {
  if (chunk== "someEvent") {
            socket.end();
        }
});
