Use shelljs and execSync to get full windows compatability for http-sync
npm install http-sync-winhttp-sync and http-sync-win to your optional dependencies:
js
{
"optionalDependencies": {
"http-sync": "0.0.4",
"http-sync-win": "0.0.4"
}
}
`
Usage
To use, simply try and require http-sync and fall back to http-sync-win (which is much less efficient).
`js
var http;
try {
http = require('http-sync');
} catch (ex) {
http = require('http-sync-win');
}
// see https://github.com/dhruvbird/http-sync for API
`
Note that if you are able to install native dependencies and libcurl is available, http-sync will be much kinder to your hard drive and CPU so please use that. Once node v0.12 comes out this library can be updated to use child_process.execSync` and will become a much more efficient option.
