it works find by using http-request module. http.put({ url: '', reqBody: fs.createReadStream(‘aa.zip'), headers: {'Content-Type':'application/zip'} }, function (err, res) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log(res.code, res.headers); });Kevingo Tsai– Kevingo Tsai2015-04-10 06:56:39 +00:00Commented Apr 10, 2015 at 6:56

You can start with this:
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var req = http.request({
hostname : HOSTNAME,
port : PORT,
path : UPLOAD_PATH,
method : 'PUT',
});
fs.createReadStream('somefile.zip').pipe(req);
You may need to perform some other actions, like proper error handling, setting Content-Type headers, etc.

After fs.createReadStream('somefile.zip').pipe(req); How can I make the put request ?
Kevingo Tsai
var stream = fs.createReadStream('somefile.zip').pipe(req);
Kevingo Tsai
req.on('error', function(e) { console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message); });
Kevingo Tsai
fs.createReadStream('aaa.zip').pipe(request.put(options, function(err, res, data) { if(err) console.log('err: ' + err); else console.log(data); })); But it shows : A header you provided implies functionality that is not implemented .. but I did not set any header in the options, it only contains the uri : var options = { uri:'aaa.zzz' };

http.request() makes the PUT request when you pipe the file through it. You seem to be using the request module, which is fine, but it works (a bit) differently than the plain http module that I'm using. As for headers, it really depends on the exact semantics of the API implementation. Perhaps it requires certain headers to be set, I don't know. |
Using request-promise (based on bluebird)
const fs = require('fs');
const request = require('request-promise');
const options = {
method: 'PUT',
url: 'dest url',
qs: {key: 'value'}, // optional
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/octet-stream'
}
};
fs.createReadStream(zipFilePath).pipe(request(options)).then(body =>{
console.log(body);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});

Check that answer.
The only difference would be, you are using .put() instead on .post().
