zip image from an url

[sweetguy0883]

Hello, How can I fetch the data of an image from facebook via an URL (I already got the URL) and zip the file to my local storage? Any suggestion would be very helpful.

Something like that:

var fs = require('fs');
var http = require('http-get'); // https://github.com/SaltwaterC/http-get
var zip = new require('node-zip')();
http.get({url: "your Facebook image's URL here"}, function (err, result){
   if( err ) throw err;

   zip.file('filename.ext', result.buffer);

   fs.writeFileSync(
      'localStorage.zip',
      zip.generate({
         base64: false,
         compression: 'DEFLATE'
      }),
      'binary'
   );
});

(The code was not tested. It's just a suggestion.)

Can you provide the sample code that fails for you? in theory this problems have nothing to do with this module.
