Node.js HTTP request returns 2 chunks (data bodies)

Question

I\'m trying to get the source of an HTML file with an HTTP request in node.js - my problem is that it returns data twice. Here is my code:

var req = http.req

These are not "2 data bodies", these are 2 chunks(pieces) of the same body, you have to concatenate them.

var req = http.request(options, function(res) {

    var body = '';

    res.setEncoding('utf8');

    // Streams2 API
    res.on('readable', function () {
        var chunk = this.read() || '';

        body += chunk;
        console.log('chunk: ' + Buffer.byteLength(chunk) + ' bytes');
    });

    res.on('end', function () {
        console.log('body: ' + Buffer.byteLength(body) + ' bytes');
    });

    req.on('error', function(e) {
        console.log("error" + e.message);
    });
});

req.end();
