It serializes http.ClientRequest as curl(1) command string. This is like Copy as cURL, but for node.

Installation

request-as-curl can be installed using npm:

npm install request-as-curl

Example

var curlify = require('request-as-curl'),
    request = require('express'),
    data = {data: 'data'};

var req = request('http://google.com/', {method: 'POST', json: data}, function (error, response, expected) {
    // Note: req.req!
    curlify(req.req, data);
    // curl 'http://google.com' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'connection: keep-alive' --data '{"data":"data"}' --compressed
});

var curlify = require('request-as-curl'),
    app = require('express')();

app.get('/', function (req) {
    curlify(req);
    // curl 'http://localhost/pewpew' -H 'x-real-ip: 127.0.0.1' -H 'x-forwarded-for: 127.0.0.1' -H 'x-nginx-proxy: true' -H 'connection: close' -H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0' -H 'accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'accept-language: ru-RU,ru;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3' -H 'accept-encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'cache-control: max-age=0' --compressed
});

app.listen();

node-request-as-curl's Issues

read the protocol (http/s)

https requests are replaced with http

Does not print the body for urlencoded requests

Might be a misunderstanding on my part, but I think this module does not print the body for application/x-www-form-urlencoded type requests?
