Answer by 18augst for Where is the body in a nodejs http.get response?

A portion of Coffee here:

# My little helperread_buffer = (buffer, callback) ->  data = ''  buffer.on 'readable', -> data += buffer.read().toString()  buffer.on 'end', -> callback data# So request looks likehttp.get 'http://i.want.some/stuff', (res) ->  read_buffer res, (response) ->    # Do some things with your response    # but don't do that exactly :D    eval(CoffeeScript.compile response, bare: true)

And compiled

var read_buffer;read_buffer = function(buffer, callback) {  var data;  data = '';  buffer.on('readable', function() {    return data += buffer.read().toString();  });  return buffer.on('end', function() {    return callback(data);  });};http.get('http://i.want.some/stuff', function(res) {  return read_buffer(res, function(response) {    return eval(CoffeeScript.compile(response, {      bare: true    }));  });});
