I had a problem with redirections and node.js so I created this wrapper class for handling it.

app.js

app.get('/', function(res, req){
  getCookie.execute({
    function(err,path,cookie){
      handleForward(path,cookie,function(cookie){
        //done
      })
    })
  })
})

var handleForward = function(path, cookie, callback){
  if(path != null || path != undefined){
    var parsedUrl = url.parse(path);
    sendget.execute(parsedUrl, cookie, function(err, path, cookie){
      handleForward(path, cookie, callback)
    })
  }
  else{
    callback(cookie);
  }
}

cookieMonster.js

var cookies = require("tough-cookie"),
    Cookie = cookies.Cookie;
getCookieString=function(entries){
   var cookieString = "";
   //console.log("Entries:"+entries)
   for (var cookieLoc in entries){
      var cookie = entries[cookieLoc]
      //console.log(cookie.toString())
      cookieString = cookieString + cookie.key + "=" + cookie.value + "; "
   }
   return cookieString.substring(0,cookieString.length-2)
}
exports.numnumnum = function(cookies){
  return getCookieString(cookies)
}

exports.mmmCookies = function (setCookie){
  if (setCookie instanceof Array)
    cookies = setCookie.map(Cookie.parse);
  else
    cookies = [Cookie.parse(setCookie)];
  //console.log(cookies)
  return cookies;
}

sendget.js

var querystring=require("querystring"),
    https = require("https"),
    METHOD = 'GET',
    cookieMonster = require("./cookieMonster")

exports.execute = function(path, cookies, callback){
    console.log(JSON.stringify(path))
    var returnPath = null
    var post_options = {
      host: path.hostname,
      port: path.port,
      path: path.path,
      method: METHOD,
      headers:{
        cookie:cookieMonster.numnumnum(cookies)
      }
    }
    //console.log(JSON.stringify(post_options))
    var post_req = https.request(post_options, function(res) {
      res.setEncoding('utf8')
      res.body = ''
      var cookies = cookieMonster.mmmCookies(res.headers['set-cookie']);
      if(res.statusCode == 302){
          callback(null, res.headers['location'], cookies)
      }
      res.on('data', function (chunk) {
        res.body += chunk
      });
      res.on('end', function() {
        if(res.statusCode != 302){
          //console.log(res.body)
          callback(null, null, cookies)
        }
      })
    })
    post_req.write("");
    post_req.end();
}
