How to synchronous call child process in CasperJS?

问题

Code:

var casper = require('casper').create({
    waitTimeout: 120000,
    stepTimeout: 120000,
    verbose: true,
    logLevel: "debug"
});

var process = require("child_process")
var spawn = process.spawn

casper.start('http://baidu.com')

casper.then(function () {
    casper.echo(httpCall('baidu.com', 'GET'))
})

function httpCall(url, method) {
    var para = ["-X", method, url]
    casper.log('curl with parameters: ' + para)
    var child = spawn("curl", para)
    var result = "abc"
    child.stdout.on("data", function (data) {
        casper.echo("curl ended.")
        result = data;
    })
    return result;
}

casper.then(function () {
    casper.wait(2000)
})
casper.run()

Run with casperjs test_child_process.js, the output:

I just want httpCall() returns the stdout of curl(That will waste some time, but could save our legacy codes from many callbacks...), but I have no idea how to do it. Could any one give me some advices?
