curl-request

cURL Request for Node.js

cURL Request is a cURL wrapper, support all options and infos from cURL.

Why a cURL wrapper?

• All node libaries i have tested are very buggy in case you use a proxy and https
• cURL is working for all cases since years
• The wrapper is easy to use with promises

Installing

To utilize for node.js install the the npm module:

$ npm install curl-request --save

After installing the npm package you can now start simplifying requests like so:

const curl = new (require( 'curl-request' ))();

If you have problems installing the dependencies, use this to build it from source:

$ npm install node-libcurl --build-from-source
