Answer 1

How about this?

var http = require('http'), 
fs = require('fs'), 
options;

options = {
    host: 'www.google.com' , 
    port: 80,
    path: '/images/logos/ps_logo2.png'
}

var request = http.get(options, function(res){

//var imagedata = ''
//res.setEncoding('binary')

var chunks = [];

res.on('data', function(chunk){

    //imagedata += chunk
    chunks.push(chunk)

})

res.on('end', function(){

    //fs.writeFile('logo.png', imagedata, 'binary', function(err){

    var buffer = Buffer.concat(chunks)
    fs.writeFile('logo.png', buffer, function(err){
        if (err) throw err
        console.log('File saved.')
    })

})
