API

spdy(res).push([path], [options], [priority])

• path is the path of the object being pushed. Can also be set as options.path.
• priority is the priority between 0-7 of the push stream with 7, the default, being the lowest priority. Can also be set as options.priority.
• options are:
  • headers
  • body - a String, Buffer, or Stream.Readable body
  • filename - a path to a file. Resolves against CWD.

Either options.body or options.filename must be set.

You do not need to set the following headers:

• content-encoding
• content-length
• content-type
