node.js https no response 'end' event, 'close' instead?

I am using node.js v. 0.4.8. When I create a HTTPS server, I never get the response.on('end', ...) event (but I do for a HTTP one). I read the issue reports on node's github page - https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/728, and apparently this is an issue that regressed into 0.4.8. response.on('close', ...) seems to have the same functionality, but I do not know enough about HTTP/HTTPS to judge. Can I use it as replacement for response.on('end', ...), and is this likely to cause any problems in future?

You can see a code sample below. Thanks in advance!

var request = "JSON_request";
var https = require('https');
var options = { 
        host:"someHost.com",
        path:"somePath",
        method: "POST", 
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(request)
        }
    };

var req = https.request(options, function(res){
    var response = "";
    res.setEncoding('utf8');

    res.on('data', function(chunk){
        console.log("INFO: "+chunk);
        response += chunk;
    });

    // This never happens
    res.on('end', function(){
        console.log("End received!");
    });

    // But this does
    res.on('close', function(){
        console.log("Close received!");
    });
});

req.on('error', function(error){
    console.log("Error: "+error);
});

req.write(request);
req.end();
