@SaWey please fix lint and add a test if you can

I installed version with this changing and that solve my problem.
Byffer error happen only if I try to read a file that is only partially downloaded.

I think it's good results.

[hipstersmoothie]

I'd still like a test so we don't break it in the future. Good to know that it solved the problem though!

[SaWey]

I can't seem to get the test environment setup on my windows machine.
Keep bothering mee about not finding '@jimp/test-utils' module when running the tests.

How would you see this test being setup? Start a custom server to send a 301 response when loading an image?
Because if we were to use an internet link, we're not sure it's going to stay online.

Hi, I'm having an issue that probably will get fixed with this. My url redirects to the actual image but Jimp/phin is reading as XML so it fails. If I test with curl url it shows the xml if I test curl -L url it works like a charm, so please if this gets into Jimp would be awesome

[SaWey]

I was able to add a test with a local server to mock a 301 redirect.

[SaWey]

@hipstersmoothie any idea how I should tackle this testcase?
I don't know how to differentiate between browser and node running the test.

@hipstersmoothie
