Module request how to properly retrieve accented characters? � � �

by

Since binary is deprecated it seems like a better idea to use iconv and correctly handle the decoding:

var request = require("request"), iconv  = require('iconv-lite');
var requestOptions  = { encoding: null, method: "GET", uri: "http://something.com"};

request(requestOptions, function(error, response, body) {
    var utf8String = iconv.decode(new Buffer(body), "ISO-8859-1");
    console.log(utf8String);
});

The important part is to set the encoding on the HTTP request to be null encoding: null.
