我发现这种方法是最有帮助的，特别是当涉及到pdf和其他随机文件时。

import fs from "fs";

  fs.appendFile("output_file_name.ext", fileDataInBytes, (err) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("File saved!");
  });

Vince Yuan的代码很棒，但似乎有问题。

function download(url, dest, callback) {
    var file = fs.createWriteStream(dest);
    var request = http.get(url, function (response) {
        response.pipe(file);
        file.on('finish', function () {
            file.close(callback); // close() is async, call callback after close completes.
        });
        file.on('error', function (err) {
            fs.unlink(dest); // Delete the file async. (But we don't check the result)
            if (callback)
                callback(err.message);
        });
    });
}

路径:img 类型:JPG 随机函数

    function resim(url) {

    var http = require("http");
    var fs = require("fs");
    var sayi = Math.floor(Math.random()*10000000000);
    var uzanti = ".jpg";
    var file = fs.createWriteStream("img/"+sayi+uzanti);
    var request = http.get(url, function(response) {
  response.pipe(file);
});

        return sayi+uzanti;
}

您可以尝试使用res.redirect到https文件下载url，然后它将下载文件。

如:res.redirect(“https / / static.file.com/file.txt”);

超时解决方案，防止内存泄漏:

下面的代码是基于Brandon Tilley的回答:

var http = require('http'),
    fs = require('fs');

var request = http.get("http://example12345.com/yourfile.html", function(response) {
    if (response.statusCode === 200) {
        var file = fs.createWriteStream("copy.html");
        response.pipe(file);
    }
    // Add timeout.
    request.setTimeout(12000, function () {
        request.abort();
    });
});

当您得到一个错误时，不要创建文件，并倾向于使用超时在X秒后关闭您的请求。

对于那些寻找es6风格的基于承诺的方式的人来说，我猜它会是这样的:

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

function pDownload(url, dest){
  var file = fs.createWriteStream(dest);
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    var responseSent = false; // flag to make sure that response is sent only once.
    http.get(url, response => {
      response.pipe(file);
      file.on('finish', () =>{
        file.close(() => {
          if(responseSent)  return;
          responseSent = true;
          resolve();
        });
      });
    }).on('error', err => {
        if(responseSent)  return;
        responseSent = true;
        reject(err);
    });
  });
}

//example
pDownload(url, fileLocation)
  .then( ()=> console.log('downloaded file no issues...'))
  .catch( e => console.error('error while downloading', e));
