Read remote file with node.js (http.get)

Question

Whats the best way to read a remote file? I want to get the whole file (not chunks).

I started with the following example

var get = http.get(options)         


        

Answer 1

http.get(options).on('response', function (response) {
    var body = '';
    var i = 0;
    response.on('data', function (chunk) {
        i++;
        body += chunk;
        console.log('BODY Part: ' + i);
    });
    response.on('end', function () {

        console.log(body);
        console.log('Finished');
    });
});

Changes to this, which works. Any comments?
