Nodejs - Downloading and saving a PDF file yields empty, corrupt PDF

I'm trying to download and save a pdf file with nodejs and nightwatchjs, yet it does not work. PDF file remains empty (0kb) and I can't open it with Adobe Acrobat. Here's the code:

    var url = "http://www.sait.ca/Documents/sample.pdf"
    var file = fs.createWriteStream("form.pdf");
    https.get(url, function(response){
        response.pipe(file);
    });

It looks like this method worked for others (see -> Download File, save it and read it again --> Error), but it does not for me. Am I missing something?

Solution

  • You need to call stream.end().
