Returns a new stream and copies over all properties and methods from the original response giving you a complete duplicate.
This is useful in situations where you need to consume the response stream but also want to pass an unconsumed stream somewhere else to be consumed later.
## Install
```shell
npm install --save clone-response
```
## Usage
```js
const http = require('http');
const cloneResponse = require('clone-response');
http.get('http://example.com', response => {
const clonedResponse = cloneResponse(response);
response.pipe(process.stdout);
setImmediate(() => {
// The response stream has already been consumed by the time this executes,
// however the cloned response stream is still available.
doSomethingWithResponse(clonedResponse);
});
});
```
Please bear in mind that the process of cloning a stream consumes it. However, you can consume a stream multiple times in the same tick, therefore allowing you to create multiple clones. e.g:
```js
const clone1 = cloneResponse(response);
const clone2 = cloneResponse(response);
// response can still be consumed in this tick but cannot be consumed if passed
// into any async callbacks. clone1 and clone2 can be passed around and be
// consumed in the future.
```
## API
### cloneResponse(response)
Returns a clone of the passed in response.
#### response
Type: `stream`
