| ### Returns a `stream.Readable` from a URI string
 | |
| [](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-get-uri/actions?workflow=Node+CI)
 | |
| 
 | |
| This high-level module accepts a URI string and returns a `Readable` stream
 | |
| instance. There is built-in support for a variety of "protocols", and it's
 | |
| easily extensible with more:
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Protocol  | Description                     | Example
 | |
| |:---------:|:-------------------------------:|:---------------------------------:
 | |
| | `data`    | [Data URIs][data]               | `data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ%3D%3D`
 | |
| | `file`    | [File URIs][file]               | `file:///c:/windows/example.ini`
 | |
| | `ftp`     | [FTP URIs][ftp]                 | `ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/site/README`
 | |
| | `http`    | [HTTP URIs][http]               | `http://www.example.com/path/to/name`
 | |
| | `https`   | [HTTPS URIs][https]             | `https://www.example.com/path/to/name`
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Installation
 | |
| ------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install with `npm`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ``` bash
 | |
| $ npm install get-uri
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Example
 | |
| -------
 | |
| 
 | |
| To simply get a `stream.Readable` instance from a `file:` URI, try something like:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ``` js
 | |
| var getUri = require('get-uri');
 | |
| 
 | |
| // `file:` maps to a `fs.ReadStream` instance…
 | |
| getUri('file:///Users/nrajlich/wat.json', function (err, rs) {
 | |
|   if (err) throw err;
 | |
|   rs.pipe(process.stdout);
 | |
| });
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Missing Endpoints
 | |
| -----------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| When you pass in a URI in which the resource referenced does not exist on the
 | |
| destination server, then a `NotFoundError` will be returned. The `code` of the
 | |
| error instance is set to `"ENOTFOUND"`, so you can special-case that in your code
 | |
| to detect when a bad filename is requested:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ``` js
 | |
| getUri('http://example.com/resource.json', function (err, rs) {
 | |
|   if (err) {
 | |
|     if ('ENOTFOUND' == err.code) {
 | |
|       // bad file path requested
 | |
|     } else {
 | |
|       // something else bad happened...
 | |
|       throw err;
 | |
|     }
 | |
|   }
 | |
| 
 | |
|   // your app code…
 | |
| });
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Cacheability
 | |
| ------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| When calling `getUri()` with the same URI multiple times, the `get-uri` module
 | |
| supports sending an indicator that the remote resource has not been modified
 | |
| since the last time it has been retreived from that node process.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To do this, pass in a `cache` option to the "options object" argument
 | |
| with the value set to the `stream.Readable` instance that was previously
 | |
| returned. If the remote resource has not been changed since the last call for
 | |
| that same URI, then a `NotModifiedError` instance will be returned with it's
 | |
| `code` property set to `"ENOTMODIFIED"`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| When the `"ENOTMODIFIED"` error occurs, then you can safely re-use the
 | |
| results from the previous `getUri()` call for that same URI:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ``` js
 | |
| // maps to a `fs.ReadStream` instance
 | |
| getUri('http://example.com/resource.json', function (err, rs) {
 | |
|   if (err) throw err;
 | |
| 
 | |
|   // … some time later, if you need to get this same URI again, pass in the
 | |
|   // previous `stream.Readable` instance as `cache` option to potentially
 | |
|   // receive an "ENOTMODIFIED" response:
 | |
|   var opts = { cache: rs };
 | |
|   getUri('http://example.com/resource.json', opts, function (err, rs2) {
 | |
|     if (err) {
 | |
|       if ('ENOTFOUND' == err.code) {
 | |
|         // bad file path requested
 | |
|       } else if ('ENOTMODIFIED' == err.code) {
 | |
|         // source file has not been modified since last time it was requested,
 | |
|         // so `rs2` is undefined and you are expected to re-use results from
 | |
|         // a previous call to `getUri()`
 | |
|       } else {
 | |
|         // something else bad happened...
 | |
|         throw err;
 | |
|       }
 | |
|     }
 | |
|   });
 | |
| });
 | |
| ```

| ### getUri(String uri[, Object options,] Function callback)
 | |
| 
 | |
| A `uri` String is required. An optional `options` object may be passed in:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - `cache` - A `stream.Readable` instance from a previous call to `getUri()` with the same URI. If this option is passed in, and the destination endpoint has not been modified, then an `ENOTMODIFIED` error is returned
 | |
| 
 | |
| Any other options passed in to the `options` object will be passed through
 | |
| to the low-level connection creation functions (`http.get()`, `ftp.connect()`,
 | |
| etc).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Invokes the given `callback` function with a `stream.Readable` instance to
 | |
| read the resource at the given `uri`.
