HEAD requests fail #19

Open diversario opened 13 years ago

diversario commented 13 years ago

When I try to perform a HEAD request I get this:

undefined:0

^
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
    at Object.parse (native)
    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/couch-client/0.0.4/package/lib/cou ch-client.js:80:45)

Does couch-client support HEAD requests?

I came across this as well. I wanted the response status from HEAD requests so I changed line 81 in my copy of lib/couch-client.js to:

    if (callback) {
      if (options.method === 'HEAD') {
        callback(null, response.statusCode);
      } else {
        callback(null, JSON.parse(body));
      }
    }
