untar-request


$3

This module allows you to download a .tar.gz archive from a url, and decompress it on the fly by utilizing nodejs
streams, finally writing it to a selected directory.

``
var untarRequest = require('untar-request');

var options = {
url: 'http://example.com/some-archive.tar.gz',
dest: './'
}

untarRequest(options, function() {
console.log('done');
});
`

You may want to use options.dmode and options.fmode to set appropriate access modes for directories and files, e.g.:
`
var options = {
url: 'http://example.com/some-archive.tar.gz',
dest: './',
dmode: 0555,
fmode: 0444
}
