GetBytes Method
Sends a GET request to the server and returns the output.
Syntax
httpclient.getBytes(url, [callback])
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for this method is defined as:
function(err, buffer){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'buffer' is the value returned by the method.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
GET is one of the most widely used HTTP requests. The server responds with the content of the resource specified in Url.
If the request is successful, the method returns the received content. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown, and the error details published in StatusCode and ReasonPhrase properties.
Note that any parameters you intend to pass to this method should be properly encoded before this method is called.
