|
|
Execute a callback when a HTTP request closes, finishes, or errors.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install on-finished
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var onFinished = require('on-finished')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### onFinished(res, listener)
|
|
|
|
Attach a listener to listen for the response to finish. The listener will
|
|
be invoked only once when the response finished. If the response finished
|
|
to an error, the first argument will contain the error. If the response
|
|
has already finished, the listener will be invoked.
|
|
|
|
Listening to the end of a response would be used to close things associated
|
|
with the response, like open files.
|
|
|
|
Listener is invoked as `listener(err, res)`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
onFinished(res, function (err, res) {
|
|
// clean up open fds, etc.
|
|
// err contains the error is request error'd
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### onFinished(req, listener)
|
|
|
|
Attach a listener to listen for the request to finish. The listener will
|
|
be invoked only once when the request finished. If the request finished
|
|
to an error, the first argument will contain the error. If the request
|
|
has already finished, the listener will be invoked.
|
|
|
|
Listening to the end of a request would be used to know when to continue
|
|
after reading the data.
|
|
|
|
Listener is invoked as `listener(err, req)`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var data = ''
|
|
|
|
req.setEncoding('utf8')
|
|
res.on('data', function (str) {
|
|
data += str
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
onFinished(req, function (err, req) {
|
|
// data is read unless there is err
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### onFinished.isFinished(res)
|
|
|
|
Determine if `res` is already finished. This would be useful to check and
|
|
not even start certain operations if the response has already finished.
|
|
|
|
### onFinished.isFinished(req)
|
|
|
|
Determine if `req` is already finished. This would be useful to check and
|
|
not even start certain operations if the request has already finished.
|
|
|
|
## Special Node.js requests
|
|
|
|
### HTTP CONNECT method
|
|
|
|
The meaning of the `CONNECT` method from RFC 7231, section 4.3.6:
|
|
|
|
> The CONNECT method requests that the recipient establish a tunnel to
|
|
> the destination origin server identified by the request-target and,
|
|
> if successful, thereafter restrict its behavior to blind forwarding
|
|
> of packets, in both directions, until the tunnel is closed. Tunnels
|
|
> are commonly used to create an end-to-end virtual connection, through
|
|
> one or more proxies, which can then be secured using TLS (Transport
|
|
> Layer Security, [RFC5246]).
|
|
|
|
In Node.js, these request objects come from the `'connect'` event on
|
|
the HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
When this module is used on a HTTP `CONNECT` request, the request is
|
|
considered "finished" immediately, **due to limitations in the Node.js
|
|
interface**. This means if the `CONNECT` request contains a request entity,
|
|
the request will be considered "finished" even before it has been read.
|
|
|
|
There is no such thing as a response object to a `CONNECT` request in
|
|
Node.js, so there is no support for for one.
|
|
|
|
### HTTP Upgrade request
|
|
|
|
The meaning of the `Upgrade` header from RFC 7230, section 6.1:
|
|
|
|
> The "Upgrade" header field is intended to provide a simple mechanism
|
|
> for transitioning from HTTP/1.1 to some other protocol on the same
|
|
> connection.
|
|
|
|
In Node.js, these request objects come from the `'upgrade'` event on
|
|
the HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
When this module is used on a HTTP request with an `Upgrade` header, the
|
|
request is considered "finished" immediately, **due to limitations in the
|
|
Node.js interface**. This means if the `Upgrade` request contains a request
|
|
entity, the request will be considered "finished" even before it has been
|
|
read.
|
|
|
|
There is no such thing as a response object to a `Upgrade` request in
|
|
Node.js, so there is no support for for one.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
The following code ensures that file descriptors are always closed
|
|
once the response finishes.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var destroy = require('destroy')
|
|
var http = require('http')
|
|
var onFinished = require('on-finished')
|
|
|
|
http.createServer(function onRequest(req, res) {
|
|
var stream = fs.createReadStream('package.json')
|
|
stream.pipe(res)
|
|
onFinished(res, function (err) {
|
|
destroy(stream)
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
```
