Utility library for line-by-line reading from any readable text stream
A small utility class to wrap response objects from the http module, and provide line-by-line iteration.
var http = require('http');
var BufferedResponse = require('buffered-response').BufferedResponse;
var options = {
host: 'foo',
path: '/a/b?q=3',
method: 'GET'
};
var req = http.request(options, function(resp) {
var reader = new BufferedResponse(resp);
reader.setEncoding('utf8');
var lineno = 1;
reader.on('line', function(line) {
console.log("LINE " + lineno++ + ": " + line);
});
});
req.end();
