This is asynchronous.

var request = require('request');
console.log('1');
request
  .get('http://google.com/img.png')
  .on('response', function(response) {
      //Happens at some time later.
      console.log('2');
      console.log(response.statusCode) // 200 
      console.log(response.headers['content-type']) // 'image/png' 
  });
console.log('3');

Output:

1
3
2
404
