-
- Request HTTP URLs in a complex world — basic
- and digest authentication, redirections, cookies, timeout and more.
-
- ## Install
-
- ```bash
- $ npm install urllib@2 --save
- ```
-
- ## Usage
-
- ### callback
-
- ```js
- var urllib = require('urllib');
-
- urllib.request('http://cnodejs.org/', function (err, data, res) {
- if (err) {
- throw err; // you need to handle error
- }
- console.log(res.statusCode);
- console.log(res.headers);
- // data is Buffer instance
- console.log(data.toString());
- });
- ```
-
- ### Promise
-
- If you've installed [bluebird][bluebird],
- [bluebird][bluebird] will be used.
- `urllib` does not install [bluebird][bluebird] for you.
-
- Otherwise, if you're using a node that has native v8 Promises (v0.11.13+),
- then that will be used.
-
- Otherwise, this library will crash the process and exit,
- so you might as well install [bluebird][bluebird] as a dependency!
-
- ```js
- var urllib = require('urllib');
-
- urllib.request('http://nodejs.org').then(function (result) {
- // result: {data: buffer, res: response object}
- console.log('status: %s, body size: %d, headers: %j', result.res.statusCode, result.data.length, result.res.headers);
- }).catch(function (err) {
- console.error(err);
- });
- ```
-
- ### co & generator
-
- If you are using [co](https://github.com/visionmedia/co) or [koa](https://github.com/koajs/koa):
-
- ```js
- var co = require('co');
- var urllib = require('urllib');
-
- co(function* () {
- var result = yield urllib.requestThunk('http://nodejs.org');
- console.log('status: %s, body size: %d, headers: %j',
- result.status, result.data.length, result.headers);
- })();
- ```
-
- ## Global `response` event
-
- You should create a urllib instance first.
-
- ```js
- var httpclient = require('urllib').create();
-
- httpclient.on('response', function (info) {
- error: err,
- ctx: args.ctx,
- req: {
- url: url,
- options: options,
- size: requestSize,
- },
- res: res
- });
-
- httpclient.request('http://nodejs.org', function (err, body) {
- console.log('body size: %d', body.length);
- });
- ```

-
- #### Returns
-
- [http.ClientRequest](http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_clientrequest) - The request.
-
- Calling `.abort()` method of the request stream can cancel the request.
-
- #### Options: `options.data`
-
- When making a request:
-
- ```js
- urllib.request('http://example.com', {
- method: 'GET',
- data: {
- 'a': 'hello',
- 'b': 'world'
- }
- });
- ```
-
- For `GET` request, `data` will be stringify to query string, e.g. `http://example.com/?a=hello&b=world`.
-
- For others like `POST`, `PATCH` or `PUT` request,
- in defaults, the `data` will be stringify into `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` format
- if `Content-Type` header is not set.
-
- If `Content-type` is `application/json`, the `data` will be `JSON.stringify` to JSON data format.
-
- #### Options: `options.content`
-
- `options.content` is useful when you wish to construct the request body by yourself,
- for example making a `Content-Type: application/json` request.
-
- Notes that if you want to send a JSON body, you should stringify it yourself:
-
- ```js
- urllib.request('http://example.com', {
- method: 'POST',
- headers: {
- 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
- },
- content: JSON.stringify({
- a: 'hello',
- b: 'world'
- })
- });
- ```
-
- It would make a HTTP request like:
-
- ```http
- POST / HTTP/1.1
- Host: example.com
- Content-Type: application/json
-
- {
- "a": "hello",
- "b": "world"
- }
- ```
-
- This exmaple can use `options.data` with `application/json` content type:
-
- ```js
- urllib.request('http://example.com', {
- method: 'POST',
- headers: {
- 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
- },
- data: {
- a: 'hello',
- b: 'world'
- }
- });
- ```
-
- #### Options: `options.files`
-
- Upload a file with a `hello` field.
-
- ```js
- var urllib = request('urllib');
-
- var req = urllib.request('http://my.server.com/upload', {
- files: __filename,
- data: {
- hello: 'hello urllib',
- },
- }, function (err, data, res) {
- // upload finished
- });
- ```
-
- Upload multi files with a `hello` field.
-
- ```js
- var urllib = request('urllib');
-
- var req = urllib.request('http://my.server.com/upload', {
- files: [
- __filename,
- fs.createReadStream(__filename),
- Buffer.from('mock file content'),
- ],
- data: {
- hello: 'hello urllib with multi files',
- },
- }, function (err, data, res) {
- // upload finished
- });
- ```
-
- Custom file field name with `uploadfile`.
-
- ```js
- var urllib = request('urllib');
-
- var req = urllib.request('http://my.server.com/upload', {
- files: {
- uploadfile: __filename,
- },
- }, function (err, data, res) {
- // upload finished
- });
- ```
-
- #### Options: `options.stream`
-
- Uploads a file with [formstream](https://github.com/node-modules/formstream):
-
- ```js
- var urllib = require('urllib');
- var formstream = require('formstream');
-
- var form = formstream();
- form.file('file', __filename);
- form.field('hello', '你好urllib');
-
- var req = urllib.request('http://my.server.com/upload', {
- method: 'POST',
- headers: form.headers(),
- stream: form
- }, function (err, data, res) {
- // upload finished
- });
- ```
-
- ### Response Object
-
- Response is normal object, it contains:
-
- * `status` or `statusCode`: response status code.
- * `-1` meaning some network error like `ENOTFOUND`
- * `-2` meaning ConnectionTimeoutError
- * `statusMessage`: response status message.
- * `headers`: response http headers, default is `{}`
- * `size`: response size
- * `aborted`: response was aborted or not
- * `rt`: total request and response time in ms.
- * `timing`: timing object if timing enable.
- * `remoteAddress`: http server ip address
- * `remotePort`: http server ip port
- * `socketHandledRequests`: socket already handled request count
- * `socketHandledResponses`: socket already handled response count
-
- #### Response: `res.aborted`
-
- If the underlaying connection was terminated before `response.end()` was called,
- `res.aborted` should be `true`.
-
- ```js
- require('http').createServer(function (req, res) {
- req.resume();
- req.on('end', function () {
- res.write('foo haha\n');
- setTimeout(function () {
- res.write('foo haha 2');
- setTimeout(function () {
- res.socket.end();
- }, 300);
- }, 200);
- return;
- });
- }).listen(1984);
-
- urllib.request('http://127.0.0.1:1984/socket.end', function (err, data, res) {
- data.toString().should.equal('foo haha\nfoo haha 2');
- should.ok(res.aborted);
- done();
- });
- ```
-
- ### HttpClient2
-
- HttpClient2 is a new instance for future. request method only return a promise, compatible with `async/await` and generator in co.
-
- #### Options
-
- options extends from urllib, besides below
-
- - ***retry*** Number - a retry count, when get an error, it will request again until reach the retry count.
- - ***retryDelay*** Number - wait a delay(ms) between retries.
- - ***isRetry*** Function - determine whether retry, a response object as the first argument. it will retry when status >= 500 by default. Request error is not included.
-
- #### Warning
-
- It's not supported by using retry and writeStream, because the retry request can't stop the stream which is consuming.
-
- ## Proxy
-
- Support both `http` and `https` protocol.
-
- **Notice: Only support on Node.js >= 4.0.0**
-
- ### Programming
-
- ```js
- urllib.request('https://twitter.com/', {
- enableProxy: true,
- proxy: 'http://localhost:8008',
- }, (err, data, res) => {
- console.log(res.status, res.headers);
- });
- ```
-
- ### System environment variable
-
- - http
-
- ```bash
- HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8008
- http_proxy=http://localhost:8008
- ```
-
- - https
-
- ```bash
- HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8008
- http_proxy=http://localhost:8008
- HTTPS_PROXY=https://localhost:8008
- https_proxy=https://localhost:8008
- ```
-
- ```bash
- $ http_proxy=http://localhost:8008 node index.js
- ```
-
- ### Trace
- If set trace true, error stack will contains full call stack, like
- ```
- Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:11
- at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1113:14)
- --------------------
- at ~/workspace/urllib/lib/urllib.js:150:13
- at new Promise (<anonymous>)
- at Object.request (~/workspace/urllib/lib/urllib.js:149:10)
- at Context.<anonymous> (~/workspace/urllib/test/urllib_promise.test.js:49:19)
- ....
- ```
-
- When open the trace, urllib may have poor perfomance, please consider carefully.
-
