HTTP GET samples with node.js ...

• using http.get.
• using http.request.
• using request.get.

http_get.js

var http = require('http');
var querystring = require('querystring');

var params = {
    name: "foo"
};

var q = querystring.stringify(params);

var options = {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 10010,
    path: '/hello?' + q
};

var req = http.get(options, function(res) {
    var buffer = null;
    if (res.statusCode != 200) {
        console.log(res.statusCode, res.statusMessage);
        return;
    }
    res.on('data', function(chunk) {
        if (buffer) {
            buffer = Buffer.concat([buffer, chunk]);
        } else {
            buffer = chunk;
        }
    });
    res.on('end', function() {
        console.log(buffer.toString());
    });
}).on("error", function(e) {
    console.log(e);
});

http_request.js

var http = require('http');
var querystring = require('querystring');

var params = {
    name: "foo"
};

var q = querystring.stringify(params);

var options = {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 10010,
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/hello?' + q
};

var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
    var buffer = null;
    if (res.statusCode != 200) {
        console.log(res.statusCode, res.statusMessage);
        return;
    }
    res.on('data', function(chunk) {
        if (buffer) {
            buffer = Buffer.concat([buffer, chunk]);
        } else {
            buffer = chunk;
        }
    });
    res.on('end', function() {
        console.log(buffer.toString());
    });
}).on("error", function(e) {
    console.log(e);
});

req.end();

request_get.js

var request = require('request');
var querystring = require('querystring');

var params = {
    name: ""
};

var q = querystring.stringify(params);

var url = 'http://localhost:10010/hello?' + q;

request.get(url, function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log(body);
    } else {
        console.log(response.statusCode, response.statusMessage);
    }
});
