.then(x => console.log(x))
.catch(e => console.log(e));

UPLOAD

// Fake server side app will save the file called myFileUploaded.png :
const up = (request, response) => {
  request
    .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('/tmp/myFileUploaded.png'))
    .on('finish', () => {
      response.end(request.headers.filename);
    });
};
const server = require('http').createServer(up);
server.listen(3002, () => {});

// Upload and check if the uploaded file exists:
roi.upload('http://localhost:3002/', '/tmp/myFile.png')
.then(response => {
  console.log(fs.existsSync('/tmp/myFileUploaded.png'));
});

Basic authentication

// Add the username and password:
const options = {
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:3000/',
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'admin'
};
roi.get(options)
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(e => console.log(e));

Remove 'Authorization' header

To avoid error like:

Request header field Authorization is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers.

const options = {
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:3000/',
  noAuth: true
};
roi.get(options)
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(e => console.log(e));
