buffered-request build status

Hack/patch for the Request Object that makes it buffered.

It solves the pause/resume unbuffered behaviorin node <= 0.6.x related topic

The patch adds a makeBuffered method to the request object (who is instanceof IncomingMessage) and doesn't break any functionality of the actual IncomingMessage Object. It still works well with pipes and data events.

Take a look ad the test suite for some example.

require('buffered-request')

    request.on('data', function (chunk) {
      // data event will be emitted for all previous buffered chunks
