Download via http and streaming upload to Google Cloud storage using nodejs












0















I am fighting to get a download to directly stream to GCS without saving to the file system, see below snippet.



const { Storage } = require('@google-cloud/storage');
const http = require('http');
const storage = new Storage();
const fs = require("fs");
const bucketName = 'BUCKETNAMEHERE';
const blobName = 'image.jpg';
const bucket = storage.bucket(bucketName);
const blob = bucket.file(blobName);

const streamDownload = () => {
http.get("http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/J---aiyznGQ/mqdefault.jpg")
.pipe(blob.createWriteStream({
metadata: {
contentType: 'image/jpg'
}
}))
.on("error", (err) => {
console.error(`error occurred`);
})
.on('finish', () => {
console.info(`success`);
});
};


On finish is never triggered. No output whatsoever.
I can stream http.get to a local file without problems, so that part seems to be OK.



What also works is streaming from the local filesystem to GCS, like below :



const streamFs = () => {
fs.createReadStream('/path/to/mqdefault.jpg')
.pipe(blob.createWriteStream({
metadata: {
contentType: 'image/jpg'
}
}))
.on("error", (err) => {
console.error(`error occurred`);
})
.on('finish', () => {
console.info(`success`);
});
};


The second snippet logs 'success' and the file is present on the bucket.



Both http.get and fs.createReadStream create a read stream.



What am I doing wrong here ?

                          Switching over to the request library does work :



                          const request = require('request');
                          const streamDownload = () => {
                          request.get("http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/J---aiyznGQ/mqdefault.jpg")
                          .pipe(blob.createWriteStream({
                          metadata: {
                          contentType: 'image/jpg'
                          }
                          }))
                          .on("error", (err) => {
                          console.error(`error occurred`);
                          })
                          .on('finish', () => {
                          console.info(`success`);
                          });
                          };


                          Still unsure why http library does not.
