WARNING: Invalid HTTP request received. Only when running GET request from inside of Excel

Question

I am trying to write an Excel addin that uses node.js to make a GET request to a fastapi/uvicorn server on localhost. I am on MacOS Big Sur and the Current Channel(Preview) of Excel. Below is the function I wrote:

function getData() {
    //You can change this URL to any web request you want to work with.
    const http = require('http');
    const options = {
      hostname: 'localhost',
      port: 8000,
      path: '/1/2/3/4',
      method: 'GET'
    };

    const req = http.request(options, res => {
      res.on('data', d => {
        process.stdout.write(d)
      })
    })
    req.on('error', error => {
      console.error(error)
    })

    req.end()
}

If I run this in a terminal with node, it runs fine and shows a 200 response on the server. If I try running the function from within Excel as a UDF, it displays 0 in the cell and the server gives the following traceback:

My thought is that somehow Excel is doing something to the GET request. Any help in debugging this is appreciated! Can I do something like console.log for excel?
