node-webkit MySQL connection Error - ER_HANDSHAKE_ERROR: Bad handshake - mysql

Question

I am using Node-Webkit for creating desktop application using NodeJS.
In this i need to get data from MySQL database. For this am using node-mysql module and the following code is used to connect MySQL server using node-mysql.
var mysql_con = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql_con.createConnection({
host : input.host,
user : input.username,
password : input.password,
database : input.database
});
connection.connect(function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error : '+err.stack);
}
console.log('Success');
});
if i run in the command line of my Windows machine, connection has been established and Success has been printed in console. But if i pack and run the code in the node-webkit's nw.exe its giving the following error in web console
Error : Error: ER_HANDSHAKE_ERROR: Bad handshake
