clone-response

What is clone-response?

The clone-response npm package is designed to clone HTTP response streams. This is particularly useful when you need to consume a response stream multiple times, for example, when you want to cache a response object for later use while still processing it immediately. It allows for the duplication of response objects in a way that each clone can be treated as an independent response.

What are clone-response's main functionalities?

Cloning HTTP Response Streams

This feature allows you to clone an HTTP response stream. In the provided code sample, an HTTP GET request is made, and the response is cloned using clone-response. Both the original and the cloned response can then be consumed independently, demonstrated by piping them to the standard output.

"use strict";
const http = require('http');
const cloneResponse = require('clone-response');

http.get('http://example.com', res => {
  const clonedResponse = cloneResponse(res);
  // Now you can consume `res` and `clonedResponse` independently.
  res.pipe(process.stdout);
  clonedResponse.pipe(process.stdout);
});

http-response-object

While not a direct clone utility, http-response-object offers a way to create and manipulate HTTP response objects in Node.js. It can be used in conjunction with other tools to achieve similar outcomes as clone-response, especially in scenarios where responses need to be reconstructed rather than cloned.
