How do you download a file? I asked myself this question when I had to download a file from a server, programmatically. I had to connect to a server, download a file, and store it locally.

How do you download a file? I asked myself this question when I had to download a file from a server, programmatically. I had to connect to a server, download a file, and store it locally. This is the code I used: const fs = require('fs') const request = require('request') const download = (url, path, callback) => { request.head(url, (err, res, body) => { request(url) .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path)) .on('close', callback) }) } const url = 'https://…' const path = '.
