So, despite the location of <code>var body = "";</code>, every iteration of your <code>while</code> loop is still appending to the same <code>body</code>.</p> <p>This isn't as much a concern when the variable is only used by synchronous tasks, like <code>scanitem</code>, <code>url</code>, and <code>options</code> are. But, when mixing in asynchronous tasks like <code>https.get()</code>, you won't likely get the result you're expecting.</p> <p>In the current absence of block-scoped variables, you can use a <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Closures#Creating_closures_in_loops.3A_A_common_mistake" rel="nofollow">closure</a> to create an additional <code>function</code> scope.</p> <p>As <code>List</code> appears to be an <code>Array</code>, you can use an iterator <code>function</code> with <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/forEach" rel="nofollow"><code>.forEach()</code></a> for this:</p> <pre><code>List.forEach(function (scanitem) { var body = ''; var url = 'https://www.mywebsite.com/'+scanitem; https.get(url, function (res) { // etc. }); }); </code></pre> <p>And, for the <code>Limit</code>, you can use <code>.splice()</code> to remove and work with the portion of the <code>Array</code> you want:</p> <pre><code>List.splice(0, Limit).forEach(function (scanitem) { // etc. }); </code></pre></li> </ol> <hr> <p>Also, unlike with <code>https.request()</code>, you're not required to call <code>_request.end()</code> when using <code>https.get()</code>.</p>
