Since the HTTP. One each data event, write the data to the writeable stream. Once the server finishes sending data, close the instance of fs. If you use fs. Use fs. To download files using curl in Node.
We are using spawn instead of exec for the sake of convenience - spawn returns a stream with data event and doesn't have buffer size issue unlike exec. That doesn't mean exec is inferior to spawn ; in fact we will use exec to download files using wget. The way data was written to the instance of fs.

Looks like Request has been deprecated github. No new changes are expected to land. In fact, none have landed for some time. Wai Ha Lee 7, 61 61 gold badges 56 56 silver badges 85 85 bronze badges.

It is returning garbage character if file name is other than ascii like if filename is in japanese.
Do you think ajax-request is not a third party library? Download using promise, which resolve a readable stream. The questions was specific to not include third party modes : — David Gatti. If you are using express use res. A 13k 4 4 gold badges 90 90 silver badges bronze badges. Using the http2 Module I saw answers using the http , https , and request modules.
I'd like to add one using yet another native NodeJS module that supports either the http or https protocol: Solution I've referenced the official NodeJS API, as well as some of the other answers on this question for something I'm doing.
Rik Rik 3 3 silver badges 8 8 bronze badges. Is this backward compatible? Works everywhere or only for http2? Neil I'm assuming you are asking if http2 is backward compatible with http1.
Because http2 improves framing; adding binary compression, the ability to push from server to client, and simultaneous connections - it is absolutely required that both server and client know the implementation this allows abstraction of implementation from the application too. Good news is that all major browsers have supported http2 since about - and Node as a client does too. Node, Nginx, and Apache offer it server side - so most use cases are covered.
Its a vast improvement. Thanks for the reply Rik — Neil. Without library it could be buggy just to point out. Here my suggestion: Call system tool like wget or curl use some tool like node-wget-promise which also very simple to use.

This method of downloading looks the most simple from coding point of view. Why exec and not spawn? Because we just want wget to tell us if the work was done properly or not, we are not interested in buffers and streams. We are making wget do all the dirty work of making request, handling data, and saving the file for us. As you might have guessed, this method is the fastest among the three methods I described.
So now the question is - which method is the best? The answer - whatever suits your need. The wget method is probably the best is you want to save the files to the local disk, but certainly not if you want to send those files as a response to a current client request; for something like that you would need to use a stream.
All the three methods have multiple options, you choice will ultimately depend on what your needs are. How to create custom Express.
