I'm a totally newbie in node.js. I'm trying to implement a browser performance tool using node.js, so I have the following piece of code:



 for(var j=0; j < 14; j++) {
// Create a new instance of HttpWatch in Firefox
var control = new ActiveXObject('HttpWatch.Controller');
var plugin = control.Firefox.New();
// Start Recording HTTP traffic
plugin.Log.EnableFilter(false);
// Clear Cache and cookier before each test
plugin.ClearCache();
plugin.ClearAllCookies();
plugin.ClearSessionCookies();
plugin.Record();
// Goto to the URL and wait for the page to be loaded
plugin.GotoURL(url);
control.Wait(plugin, -1);
// Stop recording HTTP
plugin.Stop();
if ( plugin.Log.Pages.Count != 0 )
{
// Display summary statistics for page
var summary = plugin.Log.Pages(0).Entries.Summary;
//WScript.Echo( Iteration number + j + for + url + Total time to load page in (secs): + summary.Time);
cache[i].value.push(summary.Time);
}
// Close down Firefox
plugin.CloseBrowser();
}


I'm using httpwatch to measure the performance values, which are going to be stored in a MySQL database.
However, when I run:



node test.js


I get:



C:xampphtdocstestbrowser-perf>node test.js

C:xampphtdocstestbrowser-perftest.js:37
var control = new ActiveXObject('HttpWatch.Controller');
^
ReferenceError: ActiveXObject is not defined
at Object.<anonymous> (C:xampphtdocstestbrowser-perftest.
js:37:21)
at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)

at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
at startup (node.js:119:16)
at node.js:901:3


How can I create a similar object as ActiveXObject in node.js and obtain the same desired results?
