Usage

Example

Easiest use case: just downloads and prints a page with error handling.

ES2015 - ES2016:

import httpRequestPlus from 'http-request-plus'

(async () => {
  try {
    console.log(
      await httpRequestPlus('http://example.org').readAll()
    )
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('An error as occured', error)
  }
})()

ES5:

var httpRequestPlus = require('http-request-plus').default

httpRequestPlus('http://example.org').readAll()
  .then(body => {
    console.log(body)
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('An error as occured', error)
  })

httpRequestPlus(options...) → Promise<response>

Promise<response>.cancel()

Promise<response>.readAll() → Promise<buffer>

Promise<response>.request

response.cancel()

response.readAll() → Promise<buffer>

response.length

error.code

error.response
