+
+Execute a callback when a HTTP request closes, finishes, or errors.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+$ npm install on-finished
+```
+
+## API
+
+```js
+var onFinished = require('on-finished')
+```
+
+### onFinished(res, listener)
+
+Attach a listener to listen for the response to finish. The listener will
+be invoked only once when the response finished. If the response finished
+to an error, the first argument will contain the error. If the response
+has already finished, the listener will be invoked.
+
+Listening to the end of a response would be used to close things associated
+with the response, like open files.
+
+Listener is invoked as `listener(err, res)`.
+
+```js
+onFinished(res, function (err, res) {
+ // clean up open fds, etc.
+ // err contains the error is request error'd
+})
+```
+
+### onFinished(req, listener)
+
+Attach a listener to listen for the request to finish. The listener will
+be invoked only once when the request finished. If the request finished
+to an error, the first argument will contain the error. If the request
+has already finished, the listener will be invoked.
+
+Listening to the end of a request would be used to know when to continue
+after reading the data.
+
+Listener is invoked as `listener(err, req)`.
+
+```js
+var data = ''
+
+req.setEncoding('utf8')
+res.on('data', function (str) {
+ data += str
+})
+
+onFinished(req, function (err, req) {
+ // data is read unless there is err
+})
+```
+
+### onFinished.isFinished(res)
+
+Determine if `res` is already finished. This would be useful to check and
+not even start certain operations if the response has already finished.
+
+### onFinished.isFinished(req)
+
+Determine if `req` is already finished. This would be useful to check and
+not even start certain operations if the request has already finished.
+
+## Special Node.js requests
+
+### HTTP CONNECT method
+
+The meaning of the `CONNECT` method from RFC 7231, section 4.3.6:
+
+> The CONNECT method requests that the recipient establish a tunnel to
+> the destination origin server identified by the request-target and,
+> if successful, thereafter restrict its behavior to blind forwarding
+> of packets, in both directions, until the tunnel is closed. Tunnels
+> are commonly used to create an end-to-end virtual connection, through
+> one or more proxies, which can then be secured using TLS (Transport
+> Layer Security, [RFC5246]).
+
+In Node.js, these request objects come from the `'connect'` event on
+the HTTP server.
+
+When this module is used on a HTTP `CONNECT` request, the request is
+considered "finished" immediately, **due to limitations in the Node.js
+interface**. This means if the `CONNECT` request contains a request entity,
+the request will be considered "finished" even before it has been read.
+
+There is no such thing as a response object to a `CONNECT` request in
+Node.js, so there is no support for for one.
+
+### HTTP Upgrade request
+
+The meaning of the `Upgrade` header from RFC 7230, section 6.1:
+
+> The "Upgrade" header field is intended to provide a simple mechanism
+> for transitioning from HTTP/1.1 to some other protocol on the same
+> connection.
+
+In Node.js, these request objects come from the `'upgrade'` event on
+the HTTP server.
+
+When this module is used on a HTTP request with an `Upgrade` header, the
+request is considered "finished" immediately, **due to limitations in the
+Node.js interface**. This means if the `Upgrade` request contains a request
+entity, the request will be considered "finished" even before it has been
+read.
+
+There is no such thing as a response object to a `Upgrade` request in
+Node.js, so there is no support for for one.
+
+## Example
+
+The following code ensures that file descriptors are always closed
+once the response finishes.
+
+```js
+var destroy = require('destroy')
+var http = require('http')
+var onFinished = require('on-finished')
+
+http.createServer(function onRequest(req, res) {
+ var stream = fs.createReadStream('package.json')
+ stream.pipe(res)
+ onFinished(res, function (err) {
+ destroy(stream)
+ })
+})
+```
