fs.createReadStream() equivalent for remote file in Node

node.js

Solution

Node is no PHP :)

Use the request module:

request('http://fromrussiawithlove.com/baby.mp3').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('song.mp3'))

Problem

Is there an equivelate method to fs.createReadStream() in Node for remote files? Using as follows throws `Unhandled 'error' event` ``` var s = fs.createReadStream('some_mp3_url'); ```
