node-request

My goal is to accept an uploaded file and stream it to Wistia using the the Wistia Upload API . I need to be able to add fields to the HTTP request, and I don't want the file to touch the disk. I'm using Node , Express , Request , and Busboy . The code below has two console.log statements. The first returns [Error: not implemented] and the second returns [Error: form-data: not implemented] . I'm new to streaming in Node, so I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong. Any help would be much appreciated. app.use("/upload", function(req, res, next) { var writeStream = new stream.Writable();

I use MongoDB as the back-end database for my node/Express application. To summarize the problem I am facing, I don't know how to set up the body-parser configuration in my Express app, because the server side application is not receiving the full JSON posted by the client application (also a node.js app). For the most part, the client is sending JSON in the request body to RESTful endpoints. The exception being a single case where a file needs to be uploaded and since that is a multipart body, I am using request and form-data to build that type of request and using multer on the server side

I'm trying to get some data from a third party service using the node request module and return this data as string from a function. My perception was that request() returns a readable stream since you can do request(...).pipe(writeableStream) which - I thought - implies that I can do function getData(){ var string; request('someurl') .on('data', function(data){ string += data; }) .on('end', function(){ return string; }); } but this does not really work. I think I have some wrong perception of how request() or node streams really work. Can somebody clear up my confusion here? It does work
