Curli NPM | npm.io

curli

Simple HTTP HEAD requests in node.js, just like you would with curl -I.

Example

var curli = require('curli');

curli('http://www.google.com', { 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache' }, function(err, headers) {
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(headers);
});

API

curli(uri, opts={}, cb)

The first argument uri can either be a string or request style object. Internally if passed a string curli will use url.parse() to create an object that gets passed to http.request(opts).

You may also wish to specify custom headers to be sent with the request. These can be passed via the optional opts argument. This is optional as it's also possible to pass headers via uri.headers where uri is a http.request(opts) style object.

The third argument is a standard Node style callback cb(err, headers) and will be called once a response is recieved. It returns err as an error object or null, and headers is a standard JavaScript object identical to res.headers object.
