// see options below

protocol: 'https',
host: 'raw.github.com',

// Set to true to have any gzip stream automatically decompressed before saving
options.gunzip = false;
options.proxy = {};
options.proxy.protocol = 'http';

# If installed globally
nwget https://raw.github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/master/data.json -O /tmp/data.json
# If not installed globally
./node_modules/.bin/nwget https://raw.github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/master/data.json -O /tmp/data.json
Progress is now returned as a Number instead of a String
On start filesize can return null when the remote server does not provide content-length
Exception for not specifying protocol is now: Your URL must use either HTTP or HTTPS.
Supports handling redirects that return a relative URL.
You can now get events for the total number of bytes downloaded download.on('bytes', function(bytes) {}...)
Request headers can be specified by passing an object to options.headers.
Unit tests have been added for most download functionality and error cases. Tests are a requirement for all PRs going forward!
