Downloading Mp3 file from remote. Node js
12,025
The problem here is that http
doesn't follow redirects.
You can use the request npm module that does it by default to avoid handling headers yourself.
var fs = require('fs'),
request = require('request');
request
.get('http://foo.com/bar.mp3')
.on('error', function(err) {
// handle error
})
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('2.mp3'));

I am trying to download a mp3 file from the remote url using node js. For that I am using the following code. But It doesn't work (File that downloading having 0 bytes only its not playing once it downloaded).
var http = require('http'); var fs = require('fs'); var url = "http://play.publicradio.org/rivet/d/podcast/marketplace/segments/2015/09/28/mp_20150928_seg_01_64.mp3"; var dest = "2.mp3"; var file = fs.createWriteStream(dest); var request = http.get(url, function(response) { console.log("res "+response); response.pipe(file); file.on('finish', function() { console.log("File download Completed"); }); }).on('error', function(err) { // Handle errors });

, which damaged the file. You answer is simple and good. Thank you very much! -
