httpsync

httpsync is a port of libcurl to node.js. Its interface emulates the http module of node.js. But in contrast to http module's asynchronous functions, node-curl provides the equivalent synchronous APIs.

Install

• required libcurl: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

$ npm install httpsync

APIs

httpsync.request(options)

Options:

• url (required) The url to GET/POST, such as "http://host:80/index.php", just like what you input in the browser.
• method GET, POST or HEAD or any other valid request. And even FUCK if your server supports it.
• headers Custom headers to be sent.
• useragent The User Agent string
• timeout Maximum time in seconds that you allow the libcurl transfer operation to take.
• connectTimeout Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take.
• debug httpsync will print debug informations is set to true

Example

var httpsync = require('httpsync');
var req = httpsync.request({
  url: "http://cnodejs.org",
  method: "GET",
  useragent: "Ultimate Web Browser",
  headers: {
    Tag: "TGB3123",
    String: "A long string"
  }
});

httpsync.get([options | url])

It's equivalent to curl.request but the method is default to GET.

And you can have

var httpsync = require('httpsync');
var req = httpsync.get({ url : "http://cnodejs.org"});
var res = req.end();
console.log(res);

Or just straight forward

var httpsync = require('httpsync');
var req = httpsync.get("http://cnodejs.org");

request.write(chunk)

Write a chunk of data to the request. The type of data can be String or Buffer.

request.end([chunk])

Send the request and get response.

Example

var req = curl.request({
  url: "http://cnodejs.org",
  method: "POST"
});
req.write("Some text\n");
req.write("another text");
console.log(req.end());

request.endFile(filePath)

Send a file directly. The method will default to PUT.

Example

var req = curl.request({
  url: "http://cnodejs.org",
});
req.endFile("/etc/passwd");

response

The response Object is what you get after req.end (), it has following fields:

• data A Buffer that stores data sent by server.
• headers Complete response headers, even contains those custom ones.
• ip IP address of the server.
• statusCode Status code that sent by server.
