HTTP Response pause/resume

[Katsumoto]

Hi there,

I'm trying to download a large video file with Http.request, simple example: 

<script src="https://gist.github.com/4611134.js"></script>

So the problem here is that response.pause() looks to not work for all response types.

The video has type of video/webm and pause doesn't work, it looks to just ignore this, but at the same time for application/octet-stream file it works fine.

Is this expected behavior? Does response require limited list of content types which can be paused? Or what i'm doing wrong... ((

Thanks.

http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_stream_pause second paragraph. did you tried to wait longer before resume? 5 seconds might be not really much

Yep indeed, it is useless for now. If i wait longer it realy pauses, but before that a lot of data may need to be buffered. In Node v0,9.x looks like this will be handled from the box.

But would be interesting to know how this is influenced by different response types.
