Spidex

A web requester for Node.js / Browser.

Installation

$ npm install spidex --save

Usage

You just need to get the handler:

var spidex = require("spidex");

After v2.0.0, spidex uses new APIs.

And the functions are:

spidex.get(url, [opts], [callback]).on("error", errorCallback);
spidex.post(url, [opts], [callback]).on("error", errorCallback);
spidex.put(url, [opts], [callback]).on("error", errorCallback);
spidex.delete(url, [opts], [callback]).on("error", errorCallback);

opts can be an Object that has options follow:

• data: the body data. it may be a querystring or a JSON object.
• header: customized request header.
• charset: "utf8", "gbk", "big5" or other encodings iconv-lite supported. what's more, it supports "binary" now.
• timeout: set the totally timeout millionsecond.
• responseTimeout: set the response timeout millionsecond.
• requestTimeout: set the request timeout millionsecond.

For an example:

spidex.post("http://foo", {
    data: { user: "foo", password: "bar" },
    header: { "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },
    charset: "utf8",
    timeout: 5000,
    responseTimeout: 3000,
    requestTimeout: 3000
}, function(content, statusCode, responseHeaders) {
    console.log(content, statusCode, responseHeaders);
}).on("error", function(err) {
    console.log(err);
});

There's a helper function:

spidex.parseCookie(responseHeaders);

And two user-agent functions:

spidex.setDefaultUserAgent(userAgent);
spidex.getDefaultUserAgent();

You can go through test/spidex.js for further examples.

Hessian V2

After v2.1.0, spidex support for Hessian 2.0 request!

Important: Node.js ONLY!

spidex.hessianV2(url, method, args, opts, callback);

opts is the same as other functions in spidex, but it will ignore parameters data and header["content-length"].

args is an array of arguments that will fill in the hessian service.

method is the method name of that hessian service.

For an example, a possible request may like this:

spidex.hessianV2("http://hessian.caucho.com/test/test2", "argTrue", [ true ], function(err, result) {
    console.log(err, result);
});
