nodemailer-fetch

nodemailer-fetch

Fetches HTTP URL contents for nodemailer.

Usage

var fetch = require('nodemailer-fetch');
fetch('http://www.google.com/').pipe(process.stdout);

The method takes the destination URL as the first and optional options object as the second argument.

The defaults are the following:

• Default method is GET
• Basic auth is supported
• Up to 5 redirects are followed (Basic auth gets lost after first redirect)
• gzip is handled if present
• Cookies are supported
• No shared HTTP Agent
• Invalid SSL certs are allowed. Can be overwritten with the tls option

options

Possible options are the following:

• userAgent a string defining the User Agent of the request (by default not set)
• cookie a cookie string or an array of cookie strings where a cookie is the value used by 'Set-Cookie' header
• maxRedirects how many redirects to allow (defaults to 5, set to 0 to disable redirects entirely)
• method HTTP method to use, defaults to GET (if body is set defaults to POST)
• body HTTP payload to send. If the value is an object it is converted to an x-www-form-urlencoded payload, other values are passed as is. Unlike authentication data payload and method is preserved between redirects
• contentType optional content type for the HTTP payload. Defaults to x-www-form-urlencoded. If the value is false then Content-Type header is not set
• tls optional object of TLS options
• timeout (milliseconds) sets timeout for the connection. Returns an error if timeout occurs
• headers custom headers as an object where key is the header key and value is either a string or an array of strings for multiple values

var fetch = require('nodemailer-fetch');
fetch('http://www.google.com/', {
    cookie: [
        'cookie_name1=cookie_value1',
        'cookie_name2=cookie_value2; expires=Sun, 16 Jul 3567 06:23:41 GMT',
    ],
    userAgent: 'MyFetcher/1.0'
}).pipe(process.stdout);

Cookies are domain specific like normal browser cookies, so if a redirect happens to another domain, then cookies are not passed to it, HTTPS-only cookies are not passed to HTTP etc.
