node-miniget

A small http(s) GET library with redirects, retries, reconnects, concatenating or streaming, and no dependencies. This keeps filesize small for potential browser use.

Usage

Concatenates a response

const miniget = require('miniget');

miniget('http://mywebsite.com', (err, body) => {
  console.log('webpage contents: ', body);
}));

Request can be streamed right away

miniget('http://api.mywebsite.com/v1/messages.json')
  .pipe(someWritableStream());

API

miniget(url, [options], [callback(err, body)])

Makes a GET request. options can have any properties from the http.request() function, in addition to

• maxRedirects - Default is 2.
• maxRetries - Number of times to retry the request if there is a 500 or connection error. Default is 1.
• maxReconnects - During a big download, if there is a disconnect, miniget can try to reconnect and continue the download where it left off. Defaults to 0.
• backoff - An object with inc and max used to calculate how long to wait to retry a request. Defaults to { inc: 100, max: 10000 }.
• highWaterMark - Amount of data to buffer when in stream mode.
• transform - Use this to add additional features. Called with the object that http.get() or https.get() would be called with. Must return a transformed object.

If callback is given, will concatenate the response, and call callback with a possible error, and the response body.

Miniget returns a readable stream if callback is not given, errors will then be emitted on the stream. Returned stream also contains an .abort() method.
