Transform objects to http responses with configurable retry strategy.
Construct the stream:
new WebStream([{[maxBackoff,[shouldRetry]]}])
Where maxBackoff is the maximum amount of time to wait between retries
(i.e. 3000 is 3 seconds), shouldRetry is a function with three
arguments (err, res, body) and returns a boolean truth-y to retry
false-y to continue.
Wire it to another stream for input that sends in:
{
url : 'http://some/url',
method : 'GET'
}
For HTTP methods that make sense you may also send in: 'body' and 'header' attributes in this object.
Which will be passed to request as it's options paramter.
web-stream is compatible with 0.8 node via the readable-stream module.
run the example:
$ npm install
$ cd example ; node .
