NodeJS - How to Download file via Request?

I have a ExternalServe (running on Localhost) When I using Browser to request:

localhost:2013/ExternalServer/getfilebyname?filename=getStatus.json

Then browser downloaded getStatus.json to Download Folder.

In my NodeJS project, I want to download getStatus.json file and I made:

download.js

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

function getFile (){

  var file = fs.createWriteStream("./../lib/user.json");
  var req = http.get("http://localhost:2013/ExternalServer/getfilebyname?filename=getStatus.json", function(res) {
    res.pipe(file);
});
}

getFile();

but when i run: node download.js the system return

<html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/8.0.0-RC1 - Error report</title><style><!--H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}--></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 401 - </h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u></u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>This request requires HTTP authentication.</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>Apache Tomcat/8.0.0-RC1</h3></body></html>

You are getting the following error response:

This request requires HTTP authentication

Suggesting to add the Authorization information in header. Like:

var options = {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 2013,
    path: '/ExternalServer/getfilebyname?filename=getStatus.json',
    headers: {
     'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer(uname + ':' + pword).toString('base64')
   }         
};

request = http.get(options, function(res) {
   res.pipe(file);
});

in case of proxy, you can use the following header instead:

Proxy-Authorization
