Various async utility functions

slurp(stream, encoding)

• stream <stream.Readable> The stream to slurp
• encoding <string> The character encoding to use. All encodings supported by the node Buffer API are accepted. Use 'raw' to return the buffer itself. Default: 'utf-8'
• Returns: <Promise<string>|<Buffer>>

"Slurps" the given stream; all remaining data will be consumed and returned.

Note: This function rejects if the stream emits an 'error' event.

request(options, body, encoding)

• options <Object> | <string> | <URL> See https.request
• body <string> | <Buffer> The body of the request. Use undefined for no body.
• encoding <string> The character encoding to use. Uses the same format as slurp
• Returns: <Promise<Object>> (See msgToObj)

Sends a HTTPS request to the specified server. The resulting response is passed to msgToObj, the result of which is returned.

requestInsecure(options, body, encoding)

• options <Object> | <string> | <URL> See http.request
• body <string> | <Buffer> The body of the request. Use undefined for no body.
• encoding <string> The character encoding to use. Uses the same format as slurp
• Returns: <Promise<Object>> (See msgToObj)

Sends a HTTP request to the specified server. This function acts just as request does otherwise.

msgToObj(message)

• message <http.IncomingMessage> | <http.ServerResponse> The message to convert

Converts message into an equivalent object with an added data property and toString function.

Note: Due to the implementation of this function, properties from the message may be dropped. If this includes a property you need, please file a bug report.

sleep(ms)

• ms [<number>][number] How long to sleep for

An alias for setTimeout[util.promisify.custom].
